The Two Minutes' Hate: Operation Fast And Furious

If you were looking for a reason to pick up a heavy object and heave it into the nearest wall or expensive piece of household electronics, allow me to oblige, because that's exactly how I feel about this.

The House Oversight And Government Reform Committee, headed by Rep. Darrell Issa (D-CA), launched an investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' poorly-thought-out and monstrously mismanaged Operation Fast And Furious after it was revealed that an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle which was allowed to "walk" under the operation's guidelines was used to murder Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona in December of 2010.  On Wednesday morning, the investigation released its findings, and what they found will make everyone blessed with the gift of common sense scream WTF at the skies.  Read the entire congressional report here (PDF) and observe the quackery after the break.
