(GunReports.com) — Sharyl Attkisson, a CBS News investigative correspondent based in Washington, wrote on the CBS News website recently that for more than a year, she has been investigating the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms’ “Fast and Furious” operation and the controversial tactic of “gunwalking.”
She said, “With Justice Department officials refusing all interview requests to date, CBS News requested numerous public documents through the Freedom of Information Act. So far, all of the requests that have been answered have been denied in part or in full.”
She wrote that CBS News recently received a partial response to a request made more than a year ago. The response includes mostly-blank pages. She also notes that the FBI has denied CBS News all information requested regarding the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
