Fearing charges of religious persecution, the FBI for years has hesitated to investigate radical Islamic clerics in the United States despite evidence that their mosques have been used to recruit and fund suspected terrorists, present and former law enforcement officials said.

Even after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, "the veil of religion that has been draped over mosques . . . will be tough to move off," an FBI official said last week. "The Arab American community can become enraged and beat on the FBI."

Yeah. Let the banks tattle on us, and 'sneak peeks' from the FBI to plant bugs on our keyboards. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/560930/ for MUCH further info--it was Bush, Ashcroft, and Hastert who did US in.

I must admit...I am a little concerned about the condition of the FBI. It would not surprise me if it is not infiltrated with communists-types. However...I believe there are also good agents still in the angency.

If you will remember one of the communists goals in The Naked Cummunist by Cleon Skousen (who was at one time an FBI agent) is:

#35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

This...along with some news sources which seem to promote socialism...tend to make me wonder if the FBI is not being somewhat...set-up.

I heard on a news report recently that the majority of field agents have been in the FBI less than five years. Maybe a lot of good guys left during the Clinton administration because of the corruption which they brought to the agency. Could this be true? If so, most are Clintonites.

Bush is incorrect, we are NOT at War with terrorism, we're "At Litigation with Terrorism."

Now,.....we do know who the 'mercenaries' are, don't we.
