There was no reason for the FBI to trash the girlfriend's apartment like that. Very unprofessional behavior, to say the least. Those agents responsible should be severely reprimanded, IMHO. It wouldn't surprise me if Ashcroft apologized for that, even if he ignores all the other allegations.
As a matter of fact, my place looked like his girlfriend's after I came back from the Friva conference. I saw the pictures. It didn't looked trashed to me although I'm sure it wasn't any fun putting stuff back where it belonged. My stuff was searched at the airport. I got over it.
Now if they smacked people around, that's more serious stuff but nobody's made allegations that they were physically harmed or threatened. Janet Reno did much worse to people in any event. I'm outta here. There aren't going to be any quick answers. Hatfill is one of twenty. The other nineteen are not on the radar screen. Have a nice week.
