This has the smell of a totally BS story. I've recently (this is the truth) purchased some books on anarchism (it was a topic that interested me in my college years, and I was getting nostalgic) and I've yet to be visitied by the FBI or Homeland Security. I would imagine that hundreds or even thousands of Left-wing books are purchased every day, and the idea that the FBI has the time or inclination to check out thes purchases is absurd.

I think it is just as likely that he was visited by Communist party recruiters from PRC who were posing as "homeland Security Agents" to sound the guy out.

Now THAT explanation has a ring of sensibility.

"...and the idea that the FBI has the time or inclination to check out these purchases is absurd."

And that is the bottom line. As I mentioned on an earlier thread, and something that the MSM refuses to state, if the FBI tried to go after everyone who purchased a left-wing book in this country, they couldn't.

If they tried to investigate every one in a thousand people who purchased a left-wing book, they couldn't - just too many. But if they only investigated known or suspected terrorists who purchased left-wing books, that might be doable.

And so the bottom line is (assuming this is true): Who is this person, and what is his past? He, no doubt, knows exactly why he was investigated, and he knows it wasn't just because of the book.

And by the way, isn't it interesting that stories like this just seem to appear in the MSM, at just the right time, such as when the Patriot Act is trying to be renewed.
