Meanwhile, at ATF HQ in Phoenix
Hmm:
CBS News has learned that virtually all the top ATF managers in Phoenix involved in the controversial “Fast and Furious” operation have been reassigned and replaced. The shake-up comes in the wake of the gunwalking scandal in which ATF allegedly allowed more than 2500 weapons to hit the streets or “walk.”

Why do I suspect this is more in the way of obfuscation than any kind of disciplinary action?
Because it’s the ATF and that’s what they do.

“reassigned and replaced”
Oh, so they all got a promotion.

Shell game.

does “reassigned and replace” mean the same thing as “detained and indicted”? I’m a slow head, and for all I know it could.

Huh. What’s the over/under on (a) they’re still cashing paychecks and (b) they’re not under indictment?
Yeah, yeah – rhetorical question.

When I was in the Air Force, I called it “getting promoted sideways”.

Quick! Hide the perpetrators!

Correction: a “shakeup” is when people lose their jobs.

Damage control; scatter everyone involved and hope no one goes to the trouble of tracking them down.
