But we can <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> get answers on Fast &amp; Furious on who was responsible and certainly\u00a0none have been held accountable. I believe that\u00a0would be a &#8220;cover-up&#8221; in my opinion. &#8211; <em>Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Commentary: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/articles\/303808\/fast-and-furious-and-ocdetf-andrew-c-mccarthy#\">Fast and Furious and OCDETF &#8211; Whom is executive privilege protecting?<\/a> by Andrew C.
