#1 I'm not as surprised that the FBI is doing this - as well as other aggressive anti-terrorist activities in Orange County - as I am that the FBI would tell us.

That's been the problem all along - the FBI allows the bad guys to flourish under their protection - so that they can gather information. I understand the concept and it's necessary to a degree, but they have always carried it waaay too far, allowing the bad guys to grow and root to the point where it no longer matters if you get the kingpin anymore because the organization is established to the point where individual leadership no longer matters.

In effect - they allow the bad guys to form an army, train it and really establish itself in order to see who the leaders are - but at that point - it doesn't matter anymore when the leaders are taken down - the army remains.

Maybe now they are finally getting a clue that this method is ultimately counter productive.

#2 What about racial profiling concerns? someone asked. That would be a mistake, she said. "We have our own American-raised individuals who have converted to Islam," she said, as well as Arabs coming to the U.S. who are trying to Westernize their appearance and pass for Hispanic.

The key line to my mind is;
"We have our own American-raised individuals who have converted to Islam,"

And this is from someone in the FBI. Interesting, very interesting.

#3 hint to UCI - might need to watch your campus politics. Subsidizing terrorists while keeping Methodist Bible worshippers and ROTC out might just bite you in the fundraising ASS
