Over and over and over with ATF. Maybe Obama’s people will pay closer attention. The stories of these agents being thrown out like last weeks meatloaf is disturbing. Our federal police deserve better. My question is why would an agent take those risks just so the cowards can take the credit?

Your Seven Stages of a Project could be titled the Seven Stages of an ATF Undercover Operation. The analysis fits like a glove. I worked on an ATF task force five years ago and I know these guys you mention through the International Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Investigators Association. ATF embraced them for the purpose of glory and kicked them to the curb at the first sign of trouble. The ATF bigshots call a press conference and pat themselves on the back for the work of their line agents and then proceed to attack the same agents once the story is out of the headlines. There must be some type of award package for ATF bosses who ruin undercover agents. ATF’s bosses have the worst rep in copland as backstabbers. How else can they explain the repeats of what they do? The undercover cops of the world stand in awe of what the ATF agents have done. In most PD’s, the FBI, DEA, they would never be forsaken like ATF. Mr. Diaz, I suggest you keep digging. You won’t believe what they did to Dobbins last summer. You think you gathered the paperwork behind story that CNN put out. The new story is the same but only about a billion times worse. Way to go ATF – not!
