I always question what I read, and especially when the title of the article makes a claim and yet there are no statements from the FBI in "qoutation marks" that backs up the claim in the title
Ahhh, the good ol' "Lack of 'quotation marks'" or "cited source" argument.
90% of the news isn't in "quotation marks" or from "cited sources". Maybe because "officials", especially unnamed officials want to keep their cushy, desk jockey jobs. LOL!

A gunman who killed two people before being shot by an Israeli agent at the counter of Israel's airline El Al at Los Angeles airport was an Egyptian immigrant on an FBI watchlist, officials said today.
One things for sure...somebody said something or it wouldn't be reported. Newspapers can't just lie. Wait a second...can they? With impunity?
I'll be watching for the lawsuit against them.

"Maybe because "officials", especially unnamed officials want to keep their cushy, desk jockey jobs."
Allow me to amend this...
Maybe because "officials", especially unnamed officials, want to keep their cushy, desk jockey jobs while at the same time appeasing their conscious with snippets of relative information.

The NIPC wishes to advise recipients that the FBI is seeking the following individuals who may have information related to the ongoing investigation of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon complex.
Is there a new list? Are all names on the list?

In this age of no information, I got a break. Last week, someone emailed me the FBI’s “watchlist” of 366 suspected terrorists and 14 organizations thought to be sympathetic to terrorism. The 22-page document, sent to financial regulators around the world, was posted by mistake on the Internet by Finland’s Financial Supervison Authority. The Web page was shut down several hours later. The FBI was not happy with what it called a security breach, but as one agent said, with resignation, “Stuff happens.”
Oh my...another "unnamed agent". I guess stuff really does happen.
How is a Citizen to know whether or not someone is on the list? We'll just have to "take someone's word on it", won't we.
