FBI Says Files In Leak Cases Are ‘Missing'
2006-12-27
By JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun - December 27, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO — The FBI is missing nearly a quarter of its files relating to investigations of recent leaks of classified information, according to a court filing the bureau made last week.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the FBI said it identified 94 leak investigations since 2001, but that the investigative files in 22 of those cases "are missing" and cannot be located. "There is no physical slip of paper on the shelf which indicates that the file has been charged out to a particular FBI employee, so therefore there is no way of knowing where the file may actually be," an official in the bureau's records division, Peggy Bellando, wrote in a December 22 declaration.

#10  And some nuts say the US Government actually carried out the hijackings on 9/11. No way could something like that have been kept a secret, either.

#9  So, did they lose the records because they have a crappy records management system? Or, do they have a crappy records management system so they can have a convenient excuse when they lose records?

Gotta figure the first, not enough foresight for the 2nd.

Our WHOLE Gubmint needs a complete overhaul. If for profit private enterprise can do a much better job of...just about everything, then the government should hire someone to clean their crap up.

A good start would be to abolish all Public Employee Unions, and a complete redo of the Civil Service regulations. Our Gubmint is a monstrous joke, and not a funny one either.

#7  Drag out the lie detector. Everybody form a line, everybody ! We will find the missing files, and when we do, everyone involved with their disappearence will be hanged.

I am so sick of this shit. Instead of useless oaths of office, we should have every elected, appointed, and employed G-ment worker sign a contract explaining how they can and will take any lie detector whenever requested, and that they immediately lose employment and forfeit any and all retirement benefits upon being found guilty of comission of any felony.
Most democrats would get screwed by that, no ?

#6  Better check under any nearbye construction trailers.

I swear to Christ, we have the least secure intel on the planet. It's a disgrace. Some of these treasonous bastards need to be hung. Publicly. An example should be seen and the precedent should be set. It's the only way to slow down this runaway train.

FBI to release last of its John Lennon files
Los Angeles Times

By Henry Weinstein

December 19, 2006

The FBI agreed Tuesday to make public the final 10 documents about the surveillance of John Lennon that it had withheld for 25 years from a UC Irvine historian on the grounds that releasing them could cause 'military retaliation against the United States.
