I grew up knowing the FBI was nationally, here, and the CIA has authority to handle out of country incidents. The first time I remember the FBI going out of country was the investigation of the Cole. Since then it seems they are going out of country on a regular basis.

Right. There was a time when we had bombers and long-range missiles in silos in the midwest that might be used to “investigate” such things. Now, it’s lawyers and “rules of engagement” and such. The FBI. A big waste of taxpayer dollars that will resolve NOTHING and lead us nowhere. The most you can hope for is a made-for-TV mini-drama in which an aspirin factory gets bombed and the president is reported to have stressed over whether the night janitor was killed.

A big joke.

You’re cynical but you’re also right. I do remember ole bubba stressing over the aspirin factory and the huts.
