Though born of experience, I think you overstate your strong belief when you characterize it as certainty. In a court of law it would be rightly regarded as conjecture. You can't actually be certain unless you were privy to information which unequivocally established that Holder knew in advance and approved of the contents of the letter.

Then too, there's the carefully parsed words of the letter which leave open the possibility that, though the guns did indeed get into the hands of the cartels, it wasn't part of the plan. Rather it may have been a first class screw up on the part of ATF field agents.
