No argument on the backup/storage, from this end. Pictures are equally important.

Certainly agree about Secret Service but I'm not familiar enough with U.S. Marshals. USSS seems to have the highest quality personnel.

The FBI certainly needs it mission redefined. Seems that, in theory at least, domestic intel and counter-intel are its most legitimate funtions. They have the personnel and the budget, but they probably have the wrong kind of personnel. Do we dramatically reduce their manpower and confine them to bank robberies, kidnappings and interstate flight?

How would you use them if you were in charge?

Anyone happen to notice that the Muslim first CNN commentator Christine Ammanpour has her ugly mug on the screen again. She was one of those most responsible for the pro muslim bombing of Serbia. When will these scumbags be unmasked for what they are?

They had some very good personnel, but they don't always get assigned to the right cases. There was a guy in counterintel who knew languages and earlier served with the CIA, but they moved him to the HRT. He didn't like the paper pushing, I guess.

The FBI has mishandled the terrorist cells in this country, so that assignment should be removed from their jurisdiction. The Secret Service is more SECURITY oriented, so they are the most logical to take on the task of cleaning the cells out. The Marshals have taken over the fugitive program, so their skills in hunting down all kinds of wanted individuals could be of assistance in cleaning out the cells.The whole CI organization in the FBI is probably in disarray over the Hanssen matter, so until that is cleaned up the organization won't be ready for any reformation back to the days when spies were rooted out and arrested, rather than playing these games that are far too clever, and dangerous, for them to be playing. After Clinton, whose influence was felt greater in the FBI than many of the other agencies, it would take some time to right that ship. It may never get put back on course.

Since these people are members of protected minorities who have more rights than the rest of us it will be very hard to accuse let alone convict them of anything. Remember the nuclear lab spy Lee. It soon became not an issue of whether he was a spy but rather that he was being discriminated against. The left has made it virtually impossible to defend ourselves as long as our enemies are minorities. And this stupidity continues.

Drag a million dollars past Bill Clinton, and you could get him to do about anything. He would turn into Jesse Helms' long lost ideological brother if you paid him enough money. After the Murrah bombing, we had no more attacks on our soil for the remainder of his time in office. Bin Laden confined his atrocities to overseas targets, and Clinton responded by hitting any targets other than bin Laden. This pattern was consistent from 1995 until the barbarian left office. I suspect Clinton made a deal with the camel jockeys to leave the internal US alone until he was out of office, in exchange for not extraditing terrorist suspects to Israel, and not retaliating in a way that could hurt the terrorists. My only question is which one took the money? Both Clinton and bin Laden do almost everything for money, so it is a question whether Clinton paid the bin Laden, or if bin Laden paid Clinton.

"With millions of illegals walking across our border each year in addition to the H1B Visa participants who hide out and are never returned, just about anyone could be living here, including a disguised Bin Laden."

I never even thought of that. Wouldn't that be something? If he were here?

[Michael2001]

"It is past time for all of us to immeadiately STOP referring to anyone as a "***-American" We NEED to start calling each and every one of us simply "Americans" NO MORE HYPENATED AMERICANS EVER!!!"

So if we simply called these guys Americans instead of Arab-Americans they would have loved this country and it's people and wouldn't have carried out the attacks? Unfortunately it's not that simple, these people hate us, and there's not much we can do about it.

I think it is clear to all now that we were on the wrong side of that war.

There's a lot of bashing of American policy in this thread concerning the effect of Clinton on our present situation. Remember that it was under Reagan that the CIA trained and financed bin Laden and his followers in order for them to defeat the Russians because at that time we feared communism more than anything else.

That said, it's not about how we got here. It's about what we do now.

[Michael2001]

I agree. But we also want to make sure we never make that same mistake again. Hopefully we now know who our enemy is
