ATF and Operation Fast and Furious

The acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is being moved to an undisclosed position in the Department of Justice, sources told Fox News on Tuesday. An announcement was expected as early as Tuesday about Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson, whose agency is caught up in a firearms trafficking scandal dubbed Operation Fast and Furious. The purge of those responsible for the botched program continued as new documents reveal a deeper involvement of federal agencies beyond ATF.

What is your opinion of the adminstration's involvement in this program? Was it unjustified? Is it unconstitutional? Should they be held accountable for their actions?
