The Spanish language newspaper El Diario de El Paso has published a story on "Project Gunwalker." Per the Google Translate link of the story appearing on the El Diario de Chihuahua website:
Contrary to its policy to stop it, America would be allowing the smuggling of firearms into Mexico intentionally during investigations conducted and the neighboring country without knowing it.
This is one of the allegations have emerged recently in a network by employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Snuff, Firearms and Explosives (ATF, for its acronym in English), dissatisfied with irregularities alleged to have committed the federal agency. The allegations of arms trafficking were ratified by a source in El Paso.
Citing the CleanUpATF website, the paper reports:
ATF officials in Washington, DC rejected the assumptions and declined comment on the blog.
The spokesman also declined to comment on the allegations concerning slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Significantly, it makes a claim corroborating reports that have appeared in Gun Rights Examiner, saying an ATF employee spoke to El Diario to confirm allegations. It also marks the first time any newspaper has used the term "gunwalker."
What is needed is for both sides to have a chance to tell their side of things--under oath. U.S. representatives and our domestic media should be doing everything in their power to establish the truth. That they're still ignoring it will not reflect well on them when the full scope of this story is made known.
For more, including allegations that a whistleblower is being retaliated against, further pleas for U.S. media to pick up on this story, and links to previous reports, reference today's earlier post: Phoenix ATF reportedly retaliating against ‘Project Gunwalker’ whistleblower.

Wanting to read the original Spanish-language version of the page, I attempted to directly access
http://www.eldiariodechihuahua.com/notas.php
without all the fancy hoopla that came after it, figuring it was probably not needed, or if it was, I could just walk my way down to the article. Imagine my surprise when I was IMMEDIATELY redirected to a page about cyber-crime at www.fbi.gov.
Why would a Mexican newspaper redirect any of its links to the FBI?
Are you being played, David?
Try this link, Henry: http://bit.ly/ff1Yfl
I suspect that it is the Mexican news source that is being "played" here, not David.
Not sure what we can realistically expect from either the US or Mexican main stream media, however. They've been sold out for a very long time.
Got something to say?
