I kind of expect "dumb" government when "we the people" are dumb enough to elect someone like Obama to our highest office. When the majority of people are that dumb, you get dumb representatives doing dumb things.
Project Gunrunner is not new: It has been around for years. What is new is the willful disregard for US law and human life by the BATFE and the Obama administration. Sen. Grassley is trying to get to the bottom of this but he is being stonewalled by the Obama bunch. It is high time that Grassley and others in the US congress held up BATFE funding until that agency dries up and blows away.
