Iowa's Grassley responds to Obama's executive privilege move on 'Fast and Furious' | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegister.com: Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley was sharply critical this morning of President Barack Obama’s assertion of executive privilege to resist providing documents requested by Congress concerning a controversial gun-smuggling operation.

Obama, a Democrat, invoked the privilege as justification for refusing to turn over 1,300 pages of documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, a “gun-walking” effort undertaken by the Department of Justice to track the sale of American firearms to criminals in Mexico. The operation went awry when law enforcement lost track of many of the guns, leading some to be later connected to crimes – including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
