The letter portrays the FBI as a place where agents are thwarted from doing their job by a "climate of fear." She writes: "Numerous high-ranking FBI officials who have made decisions or have taken actions which, in hindsight, turned out to be mistaken or just turned out badly (i.e. Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.) have seen their careers plummet and end.

This statement is one of the most sickening things that I've seen printed in a long time. Waco and Ruby Ridge were mistakes because both involved an attempt by the federal government to harass people who were minding their own business and who happened to be gun owners. Real Americans have never failed to support the FBI when it seeks to investigate evidence of foreign terrorists planning violent actions in this country. However, neither of the examples mentioned fell into this category. In case this idiot doesn't realize it, there's a big difference between searching a foreigner's computer and shooting a 14-year-old boy in the back or shooting a woman holding a baby. For FBI agents who haven't figured it out, here's a clue. When you use force against our enemies because they are trying to attack Americans, we will support you. When you become the tools and dupes of people like Bill Clinton and Sarah Brady, both of whom want to destroy our nation, we will not support you.

I expect we will find that agent Rowley is a liberal. The first indications will be how she is profiled by the likes of Dan Rather. If she is not treated like Linda Tripp we have a pretty clear preliminary indication that she has a political agenda.

The great turf war for the cure of systemic failure in the intelligence establishment has started. The left wants an independent commission for a reason. At first, I thought they wanted it because it would provide a vehicle to bash Bush but now I think they see it as a vehicle for the overhaul of the FBI and the Department of Justice by extension.

There is no question that the war against terrorism will result in more intrusive Federal law enforcement and intelligence apparatus. It is imperative that the left does shape the new order to its liking.
