Past time to "kick (posteriors) and take names"Reader comment on item: The Saga of FBI Special Agent Gamal Abdel-Hafiz Submitted by Merry Whitney (United States), Dec 14, 2005 at 04:18 Say what you will about J. Edgar Hoover, he wouldn't have allowed his FBI to come to this. Of course a bureaucracy as large, unwieldy and, against all logic and plain, everyday horse-sense, as politically correct as today's FBI, is going to have bad apples slip through now and then. But there is a remedy: Prosecute and incarcerate them.I was dumb-founded to learn that terrorism supporter and fund-raiser Al-Arian had been acquitted on half of the charges, and hung the jury on the remainder. It begins to make sense, knowing he had his own FBI special agent Abdel-Hafiz in-pocket, to alert him to strengths and/or weaknesses of the Government case against him. As to Mueller's "leadership" of the now Feeble Bureau of Investigation, I stand corrected. Al Kaplan was right, and I was obviously -- dare I say it? -- very naive. Kaplan called this one in August of 2002.
