Prosecutors will ask for unsealing of files in gun-walking case

Prosecutors who asked a federal court to seal the records in the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent as part of their investigation into the “Fast and Furious” operation now say they will ask that some of the documents be made public - more than a year after the shooting death.

A judge must approve the news outlets’ entry in the case and has the authority to order records unsealed. The news organizations that asked for the case to be unsealed are the Arizona Daily Star, the Associated Press, the Arizona Republic, and Phoenix television stations KPNX, KPHO and KNXV.

Hopefully the judge will rule in favor of the media. Its about time the facts are brought out.
