FBI still investigating domstic Bad Guys.
2001-12-30
  • The FBI is conducting more than 150 separate investigations into groups and individuals in the United States with possible ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization. The domestic targets include dozens of people who are under electronic surveillance through national security warrants, and others who are being watched by undercover agents attempting to learn more about their activities and associates. The large number of cases suggests the FBI's efforts against the terrorist network have gone well beyond the widely publicized dragnet that has ensnared hundreds of people in the United States and overseas.

    Squeal all you want about civil rights violations, privacy and that sort of thing. Remember that that squealing would stop - albeit temporarily - within seconds after a single grenade rolled into a crowded shopping mall in Philadelphia or St Paul. Strangely enough, that's exactly what happened at a crowded bazaar in Kashmir yesterday. Just make sure the measures being taken are temporary and directed against foreign-controlled and funded terrorists, not people the government doesn't like. But most of us feel enough trust for the administration to believe that's the case.
