Dem';s don't want this fixed. Their just bitching to deflect all the bad news coming out of the IG report and to have something to talk about for midterms. They use this crap for talking points but want no actual solutions.

HR, YK. The dems have no interest in solving this problem. Their political calculation is that it favors them in the mid-terms to keep the issue unresolved. Look no further than to the complete flip flop a number of high ranking democrats have shamelessly taken to on this issue.

"The political scene this week has been emblematic: Two full days after the Miami raid, the ACLU was still debating whether to issue a statement. Ultimately, an ACLU press release pronounced the group "troubled" by the action. Meanwhile, Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative group, had already printed up two protest posters featuring the now-ubiquitous photo of an armed federal agent reaching for the boy. One read: "Your tax dollars at work." The other: "I'm from the federal government and I'm here to help you."


And while traditional congressional champions of civil liberties were largely silent about the raid, hard-line conservatives such as Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) were demanding hearings."
