In a report released by Anne Arundel County police last week, FBI agents answered many of the questions about what went wrong the night an agent mistakenly shot an unarmed Pasadena man.
But some of the most troubling questions about why things went wrong March 1 remain.
For example, why didn't FBI agents recognize that the man in the car they had stopped was not the bank robbery suspect they had a photo of and planned to arrest? Why did the agent who fired the shot through a car window think the man was armed? And why did agents around the car shout conflicting instructions at who turned out to be not a suspected bank robber and his sister, but a young couple on their way home from a local mall?

Try to think back. When was the last time you heard of the FBI doing anything right? Can you imagine the resources being used to cover up the bad things we don't know about? And, I guess, the last good thing the FBI did that we know about was the arrest of Richard Jewell. Good thing, too, otherwise the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics would have gone unsolved for years, until some local cop found something important and was immediately swarmed by FBI PR types and a lengthy story of a long investigation was fabricated.
Did you read some of the recent articles where the FBI in Maryland spent two years investigating some Baltimore City Police Officers for moonlighting at the Staples office supply store,they were being paid for not even showing up for work ?
The U.S. Attorney in Maryland, Dibiagio (a Bush appointee)refused to prosecute, the head of the FBI, Lynne Hunt (a Clinton appointee) got so mad she took the case to the U.S. Attorney's office in Massachussetts for prosecution.
Shortly thereafter, the Baltimore Police Union endorsed the Maryland Republican Party candidate for governor, (something that hasn't happened in eons). LOL !!!!!!!!!
My guess is that the FBI spends maybe 20% of its annual budget concealing criminal activity and political corruption,involving corrupt U.S. Attorneys, concealing criminal activity involving our elected and appointed officials,and the various law firms that much of this fraud and chicanery is run through.
Try to think back.

They are just carrying on that fine family tradition.
Curran's former head of his criminal division,Lnne Battaglia was the U.S. Attorney for Maryland during the Clinton administration, she is now a judge on the MD. Court of Appeals.
Hmm, I see no problem with an FBI agent who shot an innocent kid in the face with no provocation whatsoever being allowed to return to carrying a gun with the permission of the federal government.
Wonder what my pet statists would think of this? Doubtless it would be OK, the kid "must have done something", and after all, the person doing the shooting was wearing a uniform.
I guess I just forgot it is Maryland after all.
Only in Maryland can they get away with this B.S.
Using the FBI logic according to this story they would have been justified in shooting everybody that was driving a red car or wearing a white baseball cap on that particular day.
The detectives questioned the victims several times.
Braga did not talk with county police - his was the only voice missing from their report.
One has to wonder just when the day will arrive that the American people finally become so outraged with revulsion that they will demand accounting and justice??? Perhaps never. We swallowed Waco with hardly a whimper. Reno is gone but the Gestapo remains and Ashcroft has not the will or desire to change it. He should have offered up the man for justice. The sheep are asleep and the wolf is among us.
I've noticed a number of posters at FR are not overly happy with the DOJ and FBI especially for letting the Clintons walk.
