George Zimmerman's grandpa served in "military intelligence."

[HereSince1628]

47. I'm ok with others believing that either the CIA or the State Dept. pulled levers

for Zimmerman with the Sanford police. I'm just saying what I think, and I don't think I'm completely alone in saying that involving the grandfather's influence with the CIA or state dept is a huge speculative step. A step that goes too far for me.

For the CIA or State Dept to have an interest it would require some important national interest that the CIA or State Dept would want to protect. The reputation of a grandson of a former Ambassador isn't a national interest. And whatever that unknown thing could be, it would of necessity be something of international interest (since the CIA and State Dept deal with other nations) even farther beyond the existing details of the grandfather's resume. That sort of mental goose chase is a way to spin a fanciful tale and at this point its coincidence and conjecture.

I'm personally going to stick to the notion that it's about the Sanford PD for the time being. Bias and prejudice at that level is sufficient to explain what happened, so is sloppiness. And a search for all that in the SPD is part of the state and federal reviews being undertaken.
