Border gun program proves ripe political fruit: "WASHINGTON • Republicans and Democrats on the House oversight committee last week intensified their efforts to shape the narrative surrounding Operation Fast and Furious, the border-security strategy that allowed guns to be shipped illegally into Mexico in an effort to track them to drug cartels.
Democrats, who held an unofficial hearing Thursday on the now-defunct operation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have focused on what they see as a lapse in U.S. laws involving firearms purchases.
Republicans, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the oversight committee, are pushing to blame high-ranking officials in the administration of President Barack Obama for the operation."
