What recourse do the Terry's have? They have been stonewalled by DOJ and the Obama Administration. An expensive law suit is the only mechanism available to them. Yet, here we have a brave family going up against the bottomless pit of taxpayer dollars available to the barracks full of government lawyers that will be launched against them.

We all need to keep the Terry family in our prayers and send them a buck or two when we can.

The corruption and "good old boy" club within ATF management is a disgrace to the entire country. Congress has dropped the ball by not exercising rigid oversight on a management crew that has been sending signals of their incompetence for several years. They (management) have been going to Capitol Hill and blowing smoke in the faces of Congressmen and Senators for years. The more they got away with the more smoke they generated.

If you don't believe this just take a look at the NIBIN program. When Director Truscott took $4 million from the program to pay for some extravagance in the new headquarters building the program started downhill. You know the rest of the story.

Now, after months of investigations and looking into Fast and Furious, official reports have surfaced, documentation presented and still not one single person that was a part of the problem has been fired or even reprimanded.

We have two dead Federal agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens murdered and not one person has been made accountable. Millions of dollars have been diverted to cover the rear ends of bad management personnel. We have one ATF agent whose house was burned and still no legitimate investigation. Another top agent parked in an office for reporting illegal activities. And the list of abuses to agents goes on and on and on.

It is frightening to me what has and is happening. As a one time "insider" on Capitol Hill working with ATF and all of the old Treasury law enforcement agencies it is appalling to me that our elected Members of Congress have allowed this situation to develop. It should have been nipped in the bud years ago.

It hurts to see good agents like Jay Dobyns, Vince Cefalu and others I know, being subjected to activities that should have landed the perpetrators in jail years ago. Instead they all lied to cover their sorry butts and got promoted and nice assignments to their favorite locations.

This is a sorry chapter in law enforcement history. Thanks to the courage of Jay, Vince, John and others that stepped forward to tell the truth perhaps we will see the entire incestuous mess in HQ kicked to the curb.

Yeah, I also believe in Santa Claus. Congress will do their election year dances and the next crisis will take over the headlines.

Let us all pray that the effort of the courageous ATF whistleblowers brings some justice to the situation.
