Seems there are many factual errors in the Fortune piece that Bruce quoted:

<http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/06/27/fortune_magazine_tries_to_tell_the_truth_about_fast_and_furious_fails_miserably>

“Fortune’s story is a fantasy made up almost entirely from the accounts of 
individuals involved in the reckless tactics that took place in Operation Fast 
and Furious.  It contains factual errors – including the false statement that 
Chairman Issa has called for Attorney General Holder’s resignation – and 
multiple distortions.  It also hides critical information from readers – 
including a report in the Wall Street Journal – indicating that its primary 
sources may be facing criminal charges.  Congressional staff gave Fortune 
Magazine numerous examples of false statements made by the story’s primary 
source and the magazine did not dispute this information.  It did not, however, 
explain this material to its readers.  The one point of agreement the Committee 
has with this story is its emphasis on the role Justice Department prosecutors, 
not just ATF agents, played in guns being transferred to drug cartels in 
Mexico.  The allegations made in the story have been examined and rejected by 
congressional Republicans, Democrats, and the Justice Department.”

Time for Bruce to scour the Internet in search of another absurd defense of 
Holder. That last fantasy piece didn't hold up at all.
