Was State Running Interference for Arms Dudes?

We've got some primo muck today courtesy of Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA). It's just too good not to squeeze into one long sentence:

The Albanian government and U.S. embassy in Tirana were working together to disguise from the NYT that China was the country of origin for the ammunition that our favorite 20-something Florida arms dealers were buying from an Albanian arms dealer and shipping to Afghanistan under a U.S. government contract, for which same dudes were indicted last week for violating the Arms Export Control Act.

I know, I know. Too much fun.

We've got the whole deal laid out at TPMmuckraker.
