Fast & Furious: Grenades and Indians; and Watergate?

F&F style investigations are proliferating. 

GrenadeGate:  A guy arrested in Mexico for making grenades for sale to the Sinaloa Cartel was released by ATF in Arizona in July 2010.  Why?  Original WSJ:     ATF: Let's_release_man_giving_grenades_to_cartels

IndianaGate:  And some folks in Indiana seem to have been used/released in a similar way as the Phoenix straw purchasers.

And further to practicing the time-honored coverup methods, ATF is moving F&F cases from Phoenix to Los Angeles and Dallas.

On another tack:  How many news outlets are now comparing F&F to Watergate?  I Googled the terms and came up with dozens of hits:
Investors Business Daily:  Fast-And-Furious-Scandal-A-Watergate-For-Obama
US Daily Review:  Fast-and-furious-obamas-watergate
Brit Hume on Daily Caller:  Hume-obama-handling-of-fast-and-furious-reminiscent-of-scandal-plagued-nixon-doj
Canada Free Press:  Watergate Article
Big Government:  AWR Hawkins:  Which-was-worse-watergate-or-operation-fast-and-furious?

Admittedly, many hits are for blogs, but many of those are fairly respectable and widely read blogs.
