Well done--shows FBI's incompetence


Pretty much shows the FBI are a bunch of idiots. After they got the Olympic bombing wrong they went after Bill & Monica. Then they got the anthrax attacks wrong. The only reason they got the Unabomber is because his brother turned him in. Maybe they've improved since then....I doubt it.

FBI does pretty well on murder cases that small departments have trouble with but when it comes to something huge, their track record(last 25 years) is pretty damn bad.

Two examples off the top of my head, Waco, and Los Vegas.
FBI bungled those two COMPLETELY.
They FUBARed the hell out of them.

True. And I wasn't going to mention it, but 9/11. There were lower agents who reported about the terrorists, but were ignored by higher ups. Had the FBI been competent it never would have happened. Then again had the US not funded Bin Laden in Afghanistan against the Soviets it wouldn't have, but that's a whole other story.

When you understand that the job of the FBI is to protect the elite, then you will see it is not incompetence.
