Silencers probe leads to Pentagon secrets
Sorting out the truth has been made more difficult by the elimination of potential evidence.

Why don't they just use plastic soda bottles like Bobby Lee Swagger?

Doing that will get you a retirement package and a book deal. Well played.

10K for parts for a suppressor. Wow. I'm not machinist but that seems a little over the top in price. |

Reading comprehension test. 349 suppressors. Depending on the material and the amount of machining involved, 10k is not in the least unreasonable. Finished price of $4.6k each is what's "over the top". Does make for a sweet profit margin though.
Wonder how effective they were?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

We'll have to wait until the ATF gets a hold of them and gives them to the mexican drug cartels. Then and only then will we know how effective they are.......

Considering that they were for a weapon firing a rifle cartridge, probably not as effective as they would like ....

I like how the reporter is trying to dig out anything about the "SPECAT" op called "UPSTAIRS", when he should have just focused on the embezzlement angle of a few dudes trying to get rich off a jacked up "TDY" scam.

How do I get in on these deals with profit margins like this?

Marry a disabled minority veteran and start a company.
