Sorry, folks, I know I'm putting this up with minutes to spare but I just got it a few minutes ago myself.
TONIGHT ON THE "CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC":
Sister of Slain Border Agent Murdered by Guns Linked to ATF Reacts to CBS News’ Interview with Agent
Tonight on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC (6:30 PM ET), Kelly Willis, the sister of murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, responds to John Dodson, the ATF agent who risked his job to speak with CBS News about the agency’s practice of letting guns “walk.” Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson uncovered “Fast and Furious,” a secret case in which the ATF allowed guns to be purchased in order to track them, build a big case, and take down a major Mexican drug cartel. Two assault rifles the ATF let go as part of this strategy were found nearly a year after purchased at the scene of Terry’s murder.
Agent Dodson spoke out in an exclusive interview that broadcast on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC on March 3. When asked by Attkisson about what he would say to Terry’s family, Dodson said, “First of all, I'd tell them that I'm sorry. Second of all, I'd tell them I've done everything that I can for them to get the truth. After this, I don't know what else I can do. But I hope they get it."
Tonight, Terry’s sister responds. Following are advance excerpts from tonight's broadcast. MANDATORY CREDIT: THE CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC.
Kelly Willis: “You know, within the first five minutes after that was finished airing, my whole family members, we all called each other just in tears that somebody, sorry I'm going to cry…that somebody would put their job on the line like that for my family to give us the information that we need. And that right there was the whole break in the case for us. Sometimes you can't believe everything you read but when someone actually puts the truth to it in person like that it shows us that all our thoughts and speculations are true.”
Sharyl Attkisson: “What have you been told officially about what happened to your brother, where the guns came from, what bullet killed him?”
Kelly: “Nothing. We have been told nothing. Every time we have a question they can't answer it. Nothing.”
Sharyl Attkisson's follow-up report broadcasts tonight on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC, and can be found online at www.cbsnews.com.

I just want to take this opportunity to commend Agent Dodson for having the courage to come forward on this fiasco of Federal stupidity. It is no small thing to do what he has done, he will have to wonder from here on if he is secure when doing his job, or if he will be killed in the line of duty because a team member refused to cover him.
Payback is an ugly thing sometimes and I am sure that whatever pursuits he pursues it will dog him.
Doing the right thing is like that sometimes. Sometimes "you get the duty" and I am hoping that more L E officers will find the things that their colleagues and departments are doing are wrong and that they will come forward. If this thing goes the way I believe it will we will have a lot of these public servants will see that they are on the losing side and have the courage to "cover their asses" to escape the modern day Nuremberg trials. It will, however, start with someone that steps forward to do the right thing. Perhaps it will be as simple as trying to save his country .... whatever it may be I believe that once the hole is in the dike it will be a flood.
I guess we'll know soon enough.

Hope this doesn't detract from the big issue.
Tennessee Gun Owners forum has a thread on this:

To their credit, CBS ain't lettin' up on this just yet. Good report. My heart goes out to the Terry family.
It goes without saying that you and David watch your six - these thugs are ruthless.

the question is the answer. our sorrow goes with you daily. who>what>when?whear>how? who is responsible?
Keep it up. I think this is the start of a stream of people coming forward, then the government will finally crack.
Crack? Their own agents tell us that the upper echelon is nothing but criminal and stupid and yet the agents fear retribution which they aren't able to defend against. They tell us that the bosses are coated in Teflon and having watch this for a while, I'd say they were understating the issue and that the coating thickness greatly depends upon who you are and what you know that could hurt others....
Thus are the seeds of tyrany sown and cultivated. Not to mention Marxist government.
