ATF TALKING POINT: TERRY'S DEATH 'EXACT REASON WHY WE MUST CONTINUE'

ATF TALKING POINT: TERRY'S DEATH 'EXACT REASON WHY WE MUST CONTINUE'

The ATF's public relations hoped to use Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's death in Operation Fast and Furious to promote the bureau's work, a newly released document shows.

Senator Chuck Grassley and House oversight chairman Rep. Darrell Issa sent a letter Friday to the Inspector General at the Department of Justice. The focus of the letter is the potential for retaliation toward two Fast and Furious whistleblowers, but in the course of expressing their concerns, Grassley and Issa reference ATF talking points about the death of Agent Brian Terry. At least one of the talking points seems designed to capitalize on Terry's death as a reason to further the very investigation which put a weapon in the hands of his murderer.

In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the "big fish." But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called "gunwalking," and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
