Our fumbling alphabet services

Submitted by MWhitton (United States), Apr 4, 2003 at 22:18

I've read before about this issue in the FBI. So, are all of the top honchos running around in a lucid dreaming state? With the knowledge of having sleeper cells in this country, why aren't they actively pursuing a state of paranoia? It sure looks as though the instinct of survival has flown the coop in our alphabet agencies. I hate the idea that even with all the red flags flapping and alarms buzzing no one is paying attention. Does the house have to burn down before they realize they need to call the fire department? We've overcome some pretty steep obstacles in the past, but this time we're going to being doing some house to house fighting in this country if we're not careful. No wonder there is such a big movement to disarm the citizens of this country!
