The point of the bonus was to reassure the good ol' boys in the Bureau that no matter how much bad PR they get, they will still be taken care of. Also sends a message to Coleen Rowley that the press can't protect her forever.

I think you're right about the bonus. What interests me, however, is exactly what agenda is at work here. I do not believe it's simply a matter of incompetence, and I'm far from believing any of the convenient excuses that have been offered by the FBI and others.

On the face of it, one has to conclude that the FBI and CIA have been compromised and cannot be reformed. Numerous examples can be pointed to, among them Wen Ho Lee and his wife being on the FBI and CIA payrolls while evidently working as double agents for communist China, the Moussaoui case and the refusal of FBI officials to heed French intelligence reports connecting him to Al Quaeda. Also, the business concerning Oklahoma City and "others unknown" and the situation in Boston concerning the FBI and mob informants.

The solution, of course, has been to further consolidate our intelligence services through the Office of Homeland Security, thus isolating the leadership from responsibility for their failures thus far. In my opinion, this was a huge mistake that will further compromise our national security.

On a personal note, I want to thank you for all of the work that you've done. You've helped everyone to see things as they really are and not as the careerists would like us to believe they are. Keep fighting the good fight. You do us all proud as Americans.
