FBI Investigates Open Records Request
GrooveMoose writes "A university student at the University of Texas
makes an open
records request for information on the underground tunnel system at the school.
A few months later the FBI and Secret Service come knocking on his door to see
if he's a terrorist. He's still under investigation by the federal government
regarding a completely open request."
Just another example of the American reality, no different than the old Soviet Union. Remember to vote Democrat in November! At least we'll end the mandate of power by the GOP
What kind of fuckwit are you?
America, land of the free...unless LostCluster doesn't think you should know 'that' particular bit of information. Maybe he wanted to add a question to a trivia game?
Freedom of Information act = perfectly legitimate reason.
Assclown.
And, again, an AC with no backing or history calls ME full of shit. I'll make this short, because I HATE responding to people who post strong opinions with no backing. It shows that you have no faith in your opinion, you're just plain lazy, or YOU are full of shit.
If the tunnel IS protected, the FBI should just fuck off and go do some real work. It's just plain STUPID, because the FBI should be out there hunting down REALLY strange things. Like Saudi Arabian men with no jobs, stable checking accounts, and expired visas who are taking pyrotechnics lessons out in the middle of the fucking desert.
But hey, if you feel safer while the FBI is out hunting snipes on campus, that's YOUR fucking problem. Don't try to make it everyone else's.
Alito: A vote for Alito is a punch in the eye to put that bitch back in her place!
The US, while not blameless, is in no way to blame for 9/11. The hijackers were not the oft-mentioned but never identified terrorists that we create with every bomb we drop; they were mostly wealthy Saudis who have never been harmed by the US. Except in their own pathetic little islamic minds.
The Democratic Party: We've been pussies since 1968!
You do realize those are investigations of members of the Bin Laden family, not Bin Laden? You do realize that the Bin Ladens are a well respected Saudi family operating one of the world's largest construction companies, and some of whom resided and (did) attend college in the US? Not all the Bin Ladens are terrorists, asshat.
Let's face it folks. We are in a war. The suicide bombing, baby killing Muslims are out to get us. This guy wanted to flout this in the face of authority. So now he is complaining that he is being investigated. He got what he deserved. The liberal communist left has yet to understand that we are headed into a world war with these Muslims and that we better prepare and get our act together. He's got to understand that he is responsible for his actions. He deserves to spend a little time in jail. Just like a person who files a false accident report for insurance. He had no reason to have this information. He is not bidding on laying new cable, or maintaining it. He just wanted to piss the authorities off. Well he did that and now he's complaining? Serves him right.
Just my 2 cents. - Burning some karma.
Quit playing Monopoly with Bill.
Linux - of the people, by the people, and for the people.
