[not-alone]

Watching the press conference I kept thinking about the guy that testified before Congress in the Traficant case about his treatment from the FBI. I got goosebumps when he said he supported Ashcraft. This press conference has me rethinking my support for the Patriot Act. I am beginning to think this guys whistleblowing about the Government is what got him in trouble-that's very scary maybe I have loved Dubya too much.

I had forgotten about the man's testimony supporting Trafficant before the House Ethics Committee. You are correct; he was a crushed, beaten man who evidently told the truth.

Anyone capable of placing himself in these peoples shoes should be concerned. Think of the last administration (Klintoon) with this new power; heck I don't trust Ashcroft with it.

I believe it is possible Hatfill is being punished and humiliated for the FBI's incompetence and inability to solve the crime. I am no longer in favor of giving up ANY civil rights or freedoms to the war on terrorism!

As I read this thread, I was thinking too bad Traficant's no longer around to rant about this.
