#1 Althought it's a multiple murder investigation, I think we're rapidly approaching the point where they have to start releasing more information. It's not fair to Hatfill to have trashed his reputation apparently without reason, and a controlled release of information may turn up new information to break the case.

#2 Hatfill. Richard Jewel. Collen Rowley. The list is long and ugly. Investigation by Press Conference is not law enforcement. Elite Law Enforcement Agency my ass. The political shitheads have taken over and screwed this organization up beyond recognition. No Elliot Ness' here folks.

Sadly, the Fibbies degenerated into a media-driven publicity whore some years ago. Anything emanating from Washington is spun until it's dizzy. Only the field offices seem to contain anyone resembling real investigators anymore - and they are in the minority in the "headline" offices, such as NY and El Lay.

For an example that came to light in spite of the best efforts of FBI HQ, just recall Colleen Rowley's experience trying to investigate "20th Hijacker" Moussaoui...
The "story" as reported by the "news":

The Rowley memo to Mueller - which is a knockout by a real FBI Agent, not a media darling peacock politico:

Sadly, it's a bureaucratic nightmare and buddy-network that, in sum, can't find its own ass with an arc-light. If they beheaded the FBI and put people like Rowley in charge, it might actually serve us, the taxpayers, and become the "elite" investigative force it's advertising claims.

Drain the FBI HQ swamp and good things will start to happen in the WoT.

#3 Unfortunately, PD, it's not limited to the FBI. EVERY government office in the wasteland known as DC is tainted. You can smell the decay in every state of the union. The real root cause of much of what's bad in the United States rests with the Civil Service Employee's Union, or whatever it's called these days. Too much dead wood, too little thinning, lots of insest and disease, rampant crime, and an unlimited capacity for self-deception.

What's needed is a good, old-fashioned "control burn" to eliminate the deadwood and cut back on the underbrush. Unfortunately, there aren't enough Americans willing to do that to make it work.

No foreign power would ever THINK of destroying DC. It's much too much an ally, especially if it's a totalitarian or dictatorial power.
