#1 Israeli and Kenyan Special Forces are working with officers from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations in the assault on areas of the mall

Encouraging to see that the FBI can quickly deploy to somewhere in Africa, when needed.

#2 At least they can get to Kenya quickly. Libya not so much.

#3 Since when has the FBI become a true global police force dispatched to the far corners?

If we're going to get involved with this type of thing why isn't it organizations like Delta Force, Seals or Special Forces?

The FBI seems on the road to becoming more of a para-military force than a go catch corrupt pols and crooks force.

I'm not comfortable with that direction.

(of course they could have sent the EPA or the Library of Congress police too)

#4 The idea of the LoC Cops knocking at 4 am (justifiably in my case) gives me the willies.

#5 Ship, I'm sure there will be a line in purgatory for you to pay your overdue library fines at.

#6 Stephen King wrote a story about the Library Police, Too bad I quit reading him when he dissed the Armed Services several years ago; I liked his stories.

#7 I can't come clean Snowy, those books are MINE! MINE! MINE! Precession is 9/10 of the lawz. MINE!

I had bad habits, I've stopped seriously, I'm banned in 4 library. I blame Eisenhower. I am a victim of of sight reading. I stay out of really good library, ones that might have a copy Jane's Fighting Ships

Keep an eye on your kids if their library fines go over say, $20 a month and they're minding the mail, it's time for an intervention.
