GUEST,Concerned BS: Spy Network in U.S. (109* d) RE: BS: Spy Network in U.S. 30 Jul 07


As reported by ABC's Brian Ross, the FBI has adopted a plan to recruit 15,000 covert informants in the United States to help keep America safe from terrorists, criminals, pickpockets, litterbugs, jaywalkers, people who cheat on eye exams, and other public menaces.

At a cost of over $22 million, the FBI will train their new "confidential human sources" to become the Bureau's eyes and ears in every neighborhood. Their job? Reporting to FBI officials anybody "suspicious"...

The program has a price tag on it and was reported by ABC news. I know it's a human reflex to deny the bad, but...this is ABC news. Repeat...ABC news, Brian Ross.

Anyway, now that you've joined the "lunatic fringe" that believes ABC news, let me point out that this is 1) just the BEGINNING of this FBI program, and 2) "terrorism" is lumped in with other "crimes." Are you starting to have a problem with it yet?
