And Frederick Whitehurst's attorney Stephen Kohn is representing FBI agent Joseph Rogoskey in a lawsuit against the FBI and DOJ for FBI criminal behavior in national security operations.
Ashcroft blocked FBI agent Dan Vogel from testifying about the FBI and DOJ coverup of the ME connections to the OKC bombing.
Ashcroft also covered up direct evidence of three domestic John Does identified with McVeigh in OKC who are being protected by the FBI. The evidence was given to Ashcroft in person six months ago by General Benton Partin and it included color photos and eyewitness statements and testimony of FBI threatening of four witnesses in the OKC case. These John Does appear to also have been government informants.
Ashcroft also has blocked release of 22 surveillance tapes in the OKC bombing which show the actual explosion and McVeigh in the accompaniment of ME John Does as well as Federal informants at the bombing scene.
AShcroft and the FB are still protecting the Hamas cell and members in OKC who planned the 1993 and 9/11/01 attacks on the WTC and also helped ME men and the Iraqis do the OKC bombing with McVeigh.
Ashcroft also instituted a new Federal rule allowing secret monitoring of conversations of clients with their attorneys including clients who are US citizens.
Ashcroft and FBI Director Muller sneaked through unconstitutional provisons in the "Patriot Act" stripping US citizens of many fundamental rights and civil liberties without any proper safeguards or reviews. These provisions also permit the CIA to monitor US citzens in the US and to gain access to secret Federal grand jury testimony.
Now AShcroft wants to permit the FBI to spy on US citizens belonging to religious and political organizations without proper safeguards and oversight. What if a conservative Christian Republican publicly dissents and embarrasses AShcroft, Mueller, Bush or someone else in government by legal and peaceful means without any threats of violence-will the FBI be sicked on them to destroy their reputation?
An example would be Christains complaining that the FBI and CIA and DOJ are actively promoting abortion and homosexuality that Christians find immoral. Would the FBI and DOJ spy on Christians because Christians say the FBI and DOJ conduct in these areas is evil and immoral? Most Christians who complain about abortion would not do anything to an abortion clinic but the FBI and DOJ would still spy on them anyway.
And now we know that the FBI terror task forces with Ashcroft and Mueller knowledge and blessing are targeting "Patriots" who defend the US constituion (in words only with no illegal acts) against world government and Federal officials who DO NOT uphold the Constitution.
Will the FBI now target Hal Lindsey and Joseph Farah and their organizations for their complaints and articles about Bush ties to the Third Way and Communitarianism (world government)???
LOL! I wonder what the bible-thumpers here on FR will have to say about this? They seem to be Bubba Bush's most vocal and rabid supporters. After all,like they like to say when people question other fascist moves Bubba Bush has made,these are the people who most often respond with "If you don't have anything to hide,you don't have anything to worry about."
Make no mistake about it,Bubba Bush and Janet Ashcroft ARE Bubba bin Bombing and Janet Reno is disguise.
What? Criticizing the changes in guidelines without a clear description of such changes? That's something only a Clinton FBI appointee, the NY Times and various posters here on this thread could do.
... and Draconian security measures, such as wiretapping of lawyers, pushed through Congress.
This sounds like NY Times propaganda to me. Let the detained clients meet with their laywers in person. Then, their conversations would not be monitored. The more of these incorrect criticisms I see of Aschcroft, the more I begin to support Ashcroft. If there are some bad things that Ashcroft is doing, why do we surround these issues with NY Times propaganda?
The plan has caused outrage within the FBI itself with agents expected to act upon new surveillance powers describing themselves as 'very, very angry'.
AMMON-I don't need this government spying on me when I'm worshiping God. We don't need a Hoover style FBI! Time to vote in a pro government abolitionist anarchist!!!!

I'm sure this title must be a typo; please allow me to make the appropriate corrections:
FBI agents revel in new powers
