I do wish those that rightly criticize Ruby Ridge would realize that most federal law enforcement agents are very good, very professional people who really do put their lives on the line.


Sorry but that statement ranks right up there with "Most Catholic priests are fine..." and "Most Moslems are peaceful and do not subscribe to the bloodthirsty and retrograde aspects of Islam." It may be true in the strictest numeric sense, but . . .


But? But nothing. Most Catholic priests are fine and most Muslims are fine too. You kinda illustrate my point: you can't loosely extrapolate. Well, I guess I do agree with your further point that the real test is how the institution handles the bad apples. And there the difference between the FBI and the Catholic Church is writ large. Robert Mueller is firing a lot of the old-time FBI managers and cleaning the place up. Would that the Catholic Church would do the same.

As Pee Wee Herman said, "there's always a big 'But.'"

Really? Things are changing for the better? Is Horiuchi on trial for murder? Can at least a civil suit proceed against him? What about the guy who shot that kid in the face? Will the Director reccomend decriminalising soft drugs to focus on terrorism, or do we get more lame-ass "Drugs fund terror" propaganda? Apperently you are too close to the situation. From the outside it looks just like the Catholics: We'll fire a handful of eggregious perverts, but let the gay mafia take over anyway; Or the Moslems (Religion of Peace (tm)): Some lame "condemnations" but Wahabbism still rolls on.

Cite some results people can see, otherwise the FBI should go to hell with the chickenhawks in collars and the towelheads.
