#1 this is an absolute pet-peeve of mine. Good for the cops. The FBI will monitor until the cows come home. As in the drug trade, they allow the distribution networks to be established before their very eyes - and not until the illicit trade has firmly taken root do they then arrest a few "king pins" who are easily replaced now that their drug trade is so well established. And all under the watchful eye of the FBI.

Now they just watch as complex money scams are allowed to be established, they allow the Islamists to be funded, illicit money trails to be forged, and acts of terrorism to be funded. Thus innocent people dying as the FBI protects the networks that fund them.

I understand the benefits of stings. But life is about balance - and in terms of monitoring - it seems to me that the FBI is more about gaining knowledge, more and more, and more and more, than it is with using knowledge to prevent the crimes it is monitoring.

#2 And the more I read about the 1993 WTC bombing, I'm convinced that is what happened there. They set up the group that eventually bombed the WTC and then bent all over themselves trying to explain how it was that they weren't watching as the act was performed right under their noses.

If you build it, they will come. The FBI allows them to build so that someday they can get a nice press conference and a "well-done" when indeed they come.

#3 One thing is a little fishy about the described life insurance scam. Insurance companies demand death certificates before they pay benefits. What type of certificate is issued for a suicide bomber in Iraq? With the marginal rule of law in the Middle East, what insurance company would bother writing policies? I remember reading that when life insurance policies were first written in Europe centuries ago, it was not required for an insured person to give consent for coverage. The truly enterprising would take out policies on unsuspecting people and then kill them in order to collect. Very soon the rule was issued that the insured must consent to the policy for it to be valid.

#4 I emailed Bulldog about a scam my daughter got caught up in, where a proxy program was loaded on her computer that dialed a number in England. Supposedly it was a porno site. A couple of friends of mine in Molesworth reported it's to an Islamic charity. The call supposedly cost $40. I've never paid. I did notify the FBI AND Homeland Security. Homeland Security is looking into it - the program originated in Germany (Leipzig). The FBI ignored my email. Firewalls are essential to protect yourself these days - and to keep us from unwittingly, possibly even unknowingly, supporting Islamofascists through this kind of crap.

#5 No, no, Ebbavith. The death certificate is what they get for the imaginary car crash. After they turn over the insurance money to their handlers, they get to blow themselves up as a reward. ;-)

#6 No death, no death certificate. Got to insure that these Islamofascists die.
