From the San Fran Chronicle:The Obama administration is blocking a federal law enforcement agent from publishing a book about the failed Fast and Furious gun-smuggling sting operation because of concerns that it would negatively affect morale, the American Civil Liberties Union said Monday.
The ACLU charged that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is worried that the book proposed by an ATF agent would hurt relationships with other U.S. law enforcement agencies.
In a six-page letter to ATF Deputy Director Thomas Brandon, the ACLU said the bureau's decision to block the book proposed by Special Agent John Dodson was a violation of his First Amendment rights. The ACLU described Dodson as a whistle-blower.
According to the letter, the ATF denied Dodson's request to try to publish a book about his version of the Fast and Furious scandal because the bureau predicted it would have "a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix (Field Division) and would have a detrimental" impact on ATF relationships with the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The ATF did not immediately respond to a request for comment. http://www.sfgate.com/nation/article/ATF-blocks-Fast-and-Furious-book-4876694.php
Not only should Holder been impeached for Fast and Furious, he should have been arrested for murder of a Border Patrol officer, Brian Terry.
