OK, this is from the Rolling Stone, however a blind squirrel does occasionally find an acorn. Don't know if this actually is an acorn, and as a lefty source, it tends to deteriorate towards the end into an admin bashing. But nobody can honestly say that gubmint thugs, more and more, won't do anything to justify their budgets and power, viz. BATFE, IRS, FBI, CIA, etc. "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

"When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
-–Thomas Jefferson

"It is not the function of Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."
--Robert Houghwout Jackson (1892-1954), Associate Justice, US Supreme Court

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
-- James Madison

The FBI now has more than 100 task forces devoted exclusively to fighting terrorism. But is the government manufacturing ghosts?

Read the Truth For MuslimsIslam and Immigration letter to learn about the Presidential Voter guide to inform citizens about the candidates understanding of how issues like immigration and national security are impacted by Islamic ideology.

Truth For Muslims is bringing a comprehensive, biblical response to Islam in America.

This is nothing new, and in fact has been SOP for the FBI for decades.

How pathetic. Meanwhile, I wonder if they now have the translators and to uncover real plots. From 2004:

Urgent complaints that the FBI could not decipher bugged conversations between members of a Brooklyn mosque and Afghan terrorists because it lacked translators were included in the documents former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger removed from the National Archives.

It wouldn't surprise me if they still have a shortage, so they befriend loners like Shareef, who they can, in english, encourage to try to blow up something.

On the other hand, perhaps the FBI should not recruit translators:

Al-Arian was investigated by the FBI for a decade and finally brought to trial in 2005, prosecuted by the Department of Justice in Tampa. In April 2006, Al-Arian pled guilty to one count of “Conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a Specially Designated Terrorist.”

This is the same Al-Arian who once told an audience of Muslims, “Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death. Why do we stop?” (emphasis added)

And yet, the same FBI that sought to convict him as a terrorist is now advertising for recruits on a pro-Al-Arian (and pro-terrorist in general) website. The pro Al-Arian orientation is part of a long and documented history of pro-Islamic terrorist features published by WRMEA during the past 15 years. Reviewing just about any issue of this Saudi-financed magazine would clearly determine its pro terrorist bias.
