All my dreams are coming true!

Or at least one of my more paranoid delusions.  Apparently the Obama administration WAS using the gun walker case to make the argument for gun control.  And they're getting called out on it by the mainstream media.  I honestly don't know how to handle that.

Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation "Fast and Furious" to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.


In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the "big fish." But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called "gunwalking," and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Do I honestly think that CBS is just now being made aware of this?  Nope.  Don't care either. I'm just mystified by one of the big three networks actually stopping their water carrying routine for a news story that's actually, you know, bad for the president.
