What's your take on Obama asserting Executive Privilege on the 'Fast and Furious' documents?

62. I don't care for it

Honestly here's the way I see this...

The idea to sell and track guns to cartels was a well intentioned idea that (may have) resulted in a guy getting killed in the line of duty. While I feel bad for Agent Terry's family, people get killed in the line of duty all the time, and sometimes it's in part due to things that could've been prevented. Humans make mistakes. That's a risk you take when you go into a dangerous line of work.

The DOJ should've just come forward and said "look, we fucked up, we're sorry" and moved on.

That said, I also don't think there's really any great conspiracy being covered up here. Issa and the Republicans are making a mountain out of a molehill and the administration is kind of helping their case. Although in the administration's defense, it's not as though Issa and these people are actually reasonable. They've certainly learned that the hard way.
