I think they picked the right writer.
Katherine Eban
o Brown University, 1989, BA; English Literature with a minor in Creative Writing
o University of Oxford, 1990, M. Phil., English Literature
o University of East Anglia, 1991, M.A., Creative Writing
Twould be interesting, when the OIG report comes out, to "fisk" Eban's article.
ADDED:
One of the first names I encountered keeping track of this issue, Tony Coulson, is not mentioned in Katherine Eban's "in-depth" article. How could one not interview other AZ federal agents active during the OF&F timeframe? Perhaps someone with degrees in Journalism, rather than Creative Writing, should have researched the Fortune article.
The DEA agent in charge in Tuscon, Tony Coulson (now retired) was widely quoted on OF&F in Feb 2012: DEA knew about Operation Fast and Furious (OF&F), ICE interdicted some OF&F gun shipments and were told to back off. They were told: ‘people above their pay grade’ had signed off on OF&F. ICE agent Ed Hamel who objected to OF&F was replaced with Layne France who cooperated with ATF on OF&F. It was obvious to DEA, ICE and FBI that ATF OF&F was allowing guns to walk.
