First came the rumor that "Gunwalker Bill" Newell, slated to take the ATF attache job in Mexico City, had been, or was about to be, declared "PNG" -- Persona Non Grata by the Mexican government.
Now comes a story in a major Mexican newspaper, El Universal. ¡Ay, caramba!
The story is also carried in Reforma.
The coordinator of the PT in the Senate, Ricardo Monreal, the Federal Executive intends to seek the extradition of U.S. agents who executed the failed program, "Fast and Furious" for having committed the crime of trafficking in arms against the Mexican government and as those responsible for the possible commission of crimes.

"Fast and Furious" and the reports of Ambassador Pascual to the White House released by WikiLeaks, "cause us confusion, anger and, of course, the desire to clarify and, where appropriate, relevant ways to protest, but strongly , at what seems an unacceptable intervention that undermines the sovereignty of the country, "said Moreno.

I really don't think I'd like to be working in Mexico today. They may just start shooting all Americans for the fun of it, sort of like we let happen.
I have mixed emotions about this. I really like seeing F Troop and the DOS/DOJ/DHS smacked, but the Mexicans don't seem all that concerned about illegials and dope going north and US dollars going south. If Mexican citizens were legally armed maybe there wouldn't be so many of them executed by the cartels.
"Holy crap. I really did facilitate an international incident."
Yes, you did.
Good work!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Bill Newell, ATF attache to Mexico, were murdered by an enraged Mexican using one of the guns smuggled into Mexico by the ATF?
If Madame Hitlery has her fingerprints on "Fast and Furious" Newell would be wise to decline his recent promotion. Vince Foster was fair game, so a comparative nobody like "Gunwalker Bill" would be easy prey for a political assassin.

But Vince Foster committed suicide! I mean, "Law Enforcement" said so! And they NEVER lie under oath. Do they?
Do you think Fed Gov would be brave enough to send Lon Horiuchi to help Mr. Newell kill himself?
Bill Newell, a man with a target on his back sent to Mexico where he's forbidden by law to carry a weapon and where an untold number of people are mightily upset with him and his gunwalker policies.
The guy just might consider crawling to Senator Grassley's door and trying to cut some kind of deal. Maybe a reduced sentence.
