SAN ANTONIO -- Valley authorities are on alert tonight after the FBI San Antonio office receives "credible information" of a threat to kidnap agents and kill them.

The Gulf Cartel is believed to have massed armed men, with visas and passports, along the border to come into the United States and kidnap two FBI agents.

Yes --- those lyrics describe what I've been told also. It's amazing how some believe that addiction is something the user actually tries very hard to achieve but from what I'm told that's not the way it is. I suppose sometimes with alcohol it can creep up slowly --- people can drink and be in control for many years and then find themselves addicted --- but it varies from person to person.

I can tell you, without a doubt, that addiction was the furthest thing from my mind when I started in 1972.
It was just another drug to try.
But once you ride THAT dragon, you never want to stop. That's literal.
I had the support of a loving wife, and two great kids, and, when you come right down to it, I grew up.
The after-effects, the paranoia, the guilt, are intense.
The paranoia is the worst.
I could relate personal experiences that would have you wondering about my sanity. Everyone at the time was.
I also had friends who allowed the paranoia to become real, and acted on it.
They are dead.

The FBI seems to like to target vulnerable innocents: [1]Richard Jewel, [2] the "person of interest" in the anthrax business, [3] Colleen Rowley the too-energetic agent--and whistleblower.

The comma makes the clause independent.

Three distinct vulnerable innocents targeted by the FBI.

Hatfill is the "person of interest".

You're right, my bad.
I tend to ignore commas in certain places within the sentence.
I have a boss who hates commas, and I've had to learn to write technical reports with out them.
Not being critical, but I would have re-structured the sentence, and placed "the person of interest" phrase at the end.
That's the kind of critiqueing I get every day.
A semi-colon would have served the same purpose.
