Since 9/11 I've been quietly (and often not so quietly) burning up with anger and rage to see Islamic fundies (not Arabs or Muslims, but those who publicially hate us and call for our deaths, destruction, etc) get punished for what they did. Going after "right-wingers" is not my idea of making this nation safer. Go back and read Clinton's remarks about the right vis-a-vis Oklahoma City and talk radio, for example. He said that he feared the radical right more than any other terrorist group. Unfortunately he was not talking about neo-nazis and white supremacist militia groups, but active, lawful conservatives (unless you think Rush is a terrorist).
Has this attitude befallen the FBI? I don't think so, but it has allowed incompetence to walk freely as long as the targets where of the wrong political stripe or group.
This brings me back to my point above. FReepers should challenge this, even if big media, in their hatred and zeal against conservatives, won't. I see nothing wrong at all for true patriots criticizing the government or agencies thereof (including law enforcement) when they are wrong.
