There is also a traveling "church" group (cult) that pickets and loudly protests at the funerals of America's fallen soldiers.

That is a particularly despicable practice, at anyone's funeral, let alone service personnel. Normally, I believe free speech is nearly an absolute right, but I'd make an exception here. Or settle for a bunch of bikers thumping their heads.

FBI agent says he suspected Moussaoui was a terrorist; bosses wouldn't listen
3/20/06

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - The FBI agent who arrested Zacarias Moussaoui in August 2001 accused headquarters of criminal negligence for its refusal to investigate Moussaoui aggressively after his arrest, according to court testimony Monday.

Agent Harry Samit testified under cross-examination at Moussaoui's trial that FBI headquarters' refusal to follow up "prevented a serious opportunity to stop the 9/11 attacks" that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Moussaoui is the only person charged in this country in the attacks.

The FBI's actions between Moussaoui's arrest on immigration violations on Aug. 16, 2001, and Sept. 11, 2001, are crucial to his trial because prosecutors allege that Moussaoui's lies prevented the FBI from thwarting or at least minimizing the Sept. 11 attacks. Prosecutors must prove that Moussaoui's actions caused the death of at least one person on 9/11 to obtain a death penalty.
