"Attorney General John Ashcroft said Tuesday he did not foresee the FBI taking over the sniper investigation, but he did not rule out the possibility."

Considering how the FBI conducts its business today (re: 900+ Files in the White House, Waco, Ruby Ridge, OKC, Richard Jewel, Eric Rudolph, TWA 800, etc.) All we are guarenteed is that there will be a coverup if anything embarassing to the almighty fedgov were to be discovered.

The FBI now specializes in self-promotion, empire building, CYA, corruption of evidence, corruption of witnesses, corruption of prosecution, ...

The FBI is not the public's friend anymore. It is a tool used by politicians for the means and ends of politicians.

Perhaps that memory of some good ol' FBI comes from the wonderful PR, movies, TV shows, etc.
