Fast & Furious: To be an Attache or Not?

I am slowly trying to get caught up on F&F happenings over the past week.  Because Congress is on vacation (and hopefully getting their butts kicked by constituents over their total failure on the total debt crisis) not too much has gone on officially.

One interesting development is that William Newell, the Phoenix agent ion charge of F&F, and who worked so hard to obfuscate his answers during the House hearings a few weeks ago, will be taking a special assistants job in Washington.  This is not the job he was supposed to go to:  ATF Attache to Mexico in Mexico City.


Given the anger that F&F has generated in Mexico in both official and and press circles, and given Newell's role in F&F, it is highly likely he would have been subject to arrest in Mexico if he had gone.
