This is a good idea.
For years under J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI refused to take seriously the Mafia, which Hoover denied was real.
The Bureau was cited by the Church Committee in 1975 as using “illegal” and “unconstitutional” methods. The Bureau bugged Martin Luther King for sexual exploits.
Both Truman and Nixon feared Hoover, each saying they could do nothing about him because he had too much dirt.
In 1993, the FBI had an informant inside the mosque with the Blind Sheik in 1993, then let him go when he wanted just a little more money—in part because his main handler was a female agent (See “10,000 Years for Revenge”). The FBI thus lost its best informant who had DIRECT info about the 9/11 attacks due to the information flowing from that mosque.
In the TWA 800 case, the FBI took over the investigation from the FAA and under James Kallstrom ignored or buried the eyewitness reports of 150 people. (See Jack Cashill’s new book on TWA 800). Kallstrom got the CIA to concoct a ridiculous video that did not even comport with physics.
In the lead up to 9/11, the FBI ignored field reports from another female agent in AZ about Saudis taking flying lessons but never learning to take off or land.
We know the more recent stuff. In short, the FBI’s track record is probably only exceeded in its incompetence by that of the CIA.
“We know the more recent stuff. In short, the FBI’s track record is probably only exceeded in its incompetence by that of the CIA.”
Throw in State Department for the trifecta.
Yes same CIA that didn’t even know the Berlin wall was coming down until the bricks started hitting them in the head. The same CIA who did not know that Saigon was falling until the NVA tanks were at the gates.
