Fourth largest Mexican newspaper picks up Project Gunwalker story

From El Diario de El Paso, circulation 100,000:

"Contrary to its policy to stop it, America is allowing the smuggling of firearms into Mexico intentionally during [its] conducted investigations, and without the neighboring country knowing it.

This is one of the allegations that has emerged recently at an internet forum run by employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, who are unhappy with irregularities which have allegedly occurred in the federal agency.

The CleanUpATF.org blog has anonymously reported that the ATF supposedly gave a 'green light' to U.S. gun dealers to sell weapons to suspects until the officers "inflated" statistics of seizures of weapons to justify the millions of dollars allocated to the federal agency.

ATF officials in Washington, D. C. completely rejected the allegations, and declined to comment on the blog."
