Holder blasts ‘inflammatory rhetoric'

Attorney General Eric Holder, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, criticized “inflammatory and inappropriate rhetoric” about the murder of a border patrol agent that has been linked to the Obama administration’s Fast and Furious program.

Under the program, carried out by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, officials intentionally allowed guns to walk into Mexico, where they fell into the hands of Mexican drug lords. At least two of those guns were found at the murder scene of border patrol agent Brian Terry.
