Not a good month for law enforcement.
Last week the Justice Dept. indicted a Secret Service prosecution witness in the Martha Stewart case.
Misidentification? How did that happen? I thought they had his fingerprint???
Just yuck....
The first leak was to Isikoff at Newsweek.
Investigate him.
At some point, I'm sure we're going to have to do more than apologize. I'm thinking in terms of a $ettlement.
This has been a deliberate setup - see how many islamics work inside the FBI, and the State Dept, and ????.
Time to PURGE
All muslims should be required to give the FBI a full set of good prints! Sounds like this wouldn't have happened it they had had them.
Complete setup from the get go to get access to his files and computers.
I don't for a minute believe he is innocent. Remember, it was the Spaniards who claimed that it wasn't Mayfield's fingerprints which has got him off. Those Spaniards who chickened out in Iraq. Can't make me believe they aren't in on his getting off.
It appears that they bungled the secret search, claimed that his kid'spanish homework were "spanish documents" and decided he was a criminal because he represented criminals.
Now I'm no fan of attorneys, especially criminal defense attorneys, but the bottom line is that we really do need them if our government is going to make these kind of value judgments while violating our Constitutional Rights.
Patriot Act II would allow SAC's to make the call on whether a secret search would be conducted - removing any judiical oversight prior to the search. Do we really want to allow this?
