I was commenting on the credibility of RNR, not CBS. I realize that CBS was part of the source material for the RNR article, but there is a distinct difference in the reporting style of CBS vs. RNR. RNR is much more editorial.

I'm not suggesting that our government isn't part of a trade like this. I'm suggesting that sites like RNR editorialize the data presented.

For example, the link I provided showed them using actual data that is credible, but they intentionally twisted it to suit their own interpretation of the data.

That being said, Project Gunrunner doesn't seem that surprising when considering what the CIA has been connected to with drug trade in South America.

The War on Drugs is just as futile as most gun control efforts.

Both Mexico and the U.S. should legalize the weapons involved (and the drugs involved as well). Once all these markets are legal, the profit margins go way down, and cartels no longer have an incentive to sell them.

Well maybe this article from CBS will stop your accusations that there is some kind of conspiracy or smear--- And in this CBS article is says this:

As our CBS News Investigation has revealed, "Fast and Furious" was a secret program under which, sources say, ATF purposely allowed thousands of assault rifles and other weapons from the U.S. into the hands of drug cartels in Mexico. Insiders call it letting the guns "walk." Mexico requests info from U.S. on gun-running - World Watch - CBS News
