"Grenade-Walking" Part Of "Gunwalker" Scandal -- CBS News

There's a new twist in the government's "gunwalking" scandal involving an even more dangerous weapon: grenades.

My Comment: This scandal is getting messier and messier with each passing day, further reinforced with the administration providing conflicting and contradictory accounts on the "who and when" did they know what was happening.

On a side note, kudos to CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson for uncovering this story .... if there ever was a person who deserved a Pulitzer for a news story .... this is it.
