Good morning. Here’s a look at what’s going on around the web today.
WaPo has an interesting interview with William D. Newell, who headed the Phoenix ATF office for five years. Newell is at the heart of one of this week’s big stories. In the Post, he defended the much-derided Fast and Furious operation this way: “It was the only way to dismantle an entire firearms-trafficking ring and stop the thousands of guns flowing to Mexico,”he said.
Over at 2 Chambers, they take a stab at handicapping tonight’s congressional baseball game at Nationals Park. “In recent years, Democrats have come out on top, so, depending on how things go, winning a baseball game might be the only victory they enjoy today,” writes Ed O’Keefe.
