ATF as corrupt with tobacco as with firearms

From the folks you brought you Fast and Furious:

The Justice Department's internal watchdog says the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives mounted dozens of undercover investigations into illicit cigarette sales without proper approval. It says the agency misused some of $162 million in profits from the stings - including overpaying an informant by millions of dollars - and lost track of at least 420 million cigarettes.



"Lost track" of 420 million cigarettes is an interesting way of putting it. I did a quick back of the envelope calculation and found that all of those cigarettes should fit neatly into a cube that is 43 feet on each side. For our non-American friends, that's about the height of a four story house. Maybe 420 million cigarettes fell under the couch at ATF headquarters? It's always in the last place you look.
