“when I first joined FR in 1998, the FBI was held in very high esteem by pretty much all FR members.”
All organizations eventually proceed to rotten, unless strictly Biblical, and even most of those eventually rot due to men.
The process of rot of the FBI and all the intelligence agencies were spurred on by Bush’s stupid power grants for the “War on Terror”. All these extra powers need to be removed.
I agree. The Soviet sounding Department of Homeland Security needs to be rolled back or eliminated. There are other ways to handle T.S.A., etc.
