Report: Feds Refusing FBI Terror Cases

By LARA JAKES JORDAN, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department increasingly has refused to prosecute FBI cases targeting suspected terrorists over the past five years, according to private researchers who reviewed department records.

The government says the findings are inaccurate and "intellectually dishonest."

The report being released Monday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University raises questions about the quality of the FBI's investigations.

Prosecutors declined to bring charges in 131 of 150, or 87 percent, of international terrorist case referrals from the FBI between October 2005 and June 2006, according to the report. The study was based on the most recent data available from the Justice Department's executive office for U.S. attorneys.

2. I watched a movie last night

I think it was produced in 1998 called Enemy of the State. I was about Senators, Homeland Security, and domestic invasion of privacy laws getting passed to spy on EVERYONE. I am astonished to see some predictions made in this movie come true. The movie caused me a lot of emotional discomfort. Those spooks can see up your ass if they want to know ANYTHING about you. And now they don't even need probable cause or a warrant, or even a nod from their superiors. Those poor bastards at the FBI must need something to do. They can keep an eye on Homeland Security and the CIA. I don't really think there are as may terrorists in the county as this administration wants the general public to believe. They like to keep the threat level high to scare the public into letting them do anything they want. I even heard on Faux radio news once and only once that a lot of trails into the United States were discovered and they were littered with Korans along the way. Oh, jeez can't imagine how those got there?
