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."

    The only government here that tried to secure borders were the Indian nations. As far as they were concerned, we were terrorists and invaders taking their land forcing our ways and our religion upon theirs.

    People who file requests for random information may be the bad seed that entered our borders or were bred here (stopping immigration at any point other than our founding years wouldn't have stopped McVeigh). Besides, it makes more sense, logically and economically, to investigate suspicious activity than to investigate everyone.

    They don't really want to stop terrorism, that wouldn't be in their interest. They want to appear as though they are trying to stop terrorism. That IS in their interest.

    You sound like you know something about 'When' and 'What' the FBI should be involved in. Perhaps you'd like to write to them, or even, work for them?

    ..., I mean, just this minute as I was reading this thread finished listening to a recording made from an NBC broadcast early in the morning of 9-11. In it the reporter is relating a quick interview he had with the head honcho fire chief, who relates to him reports he was getting from his firemen about secondary bombs going off in the towers, which jibes with other eyewirtness accounts, and the observations of how the building fell and the "poofs" you can see, ie, controlled demolitions planted inside the building. It was clear, unambiguous what was being said.

    OH, if you never heard of it, that they had "no clue", google for "project bojinka", read up on that, see what you think if they had "no clue anyone would attack the US". Then there's Putin himself warning them, David Schippers trying to get to ashcroft for weeks to warn him, and some others. A lot really, this subject is a major interest of mine, but this is just a short post.

    As to FBI investigation, there are several now involved in lawsuits against the government, whistleblower agents who refused to go along with the coverup,because they were ordered OFF the cases by higher ups (it gets vague how far up the food chain the orders came down from obviously, but far enough up it represents serious juice), agents who were hot on the trail of some of the alleged terrorist hijackers, and got pulled when they got close. This happened multiple times so it wasn't a coincidence, it was on-purpose orders to back-off the cases. That's serious clue-age there. Norad not scrambling when at least 4 airliners hijacked for a record l-o-n-g time. please....

    Oh man, there's SO much out there now, where to start...

    There's lots more unanswered questions now on a huge variety of websites, just TONS of evidence. Just a post with links would be huge now. Google is your friend.

    The FBI is being "cute", they aren't investigating the *real* terrorists, they are investigating the lower level patsies. The *real* crime IS some shadowy cartel/gang inside government using this event are actually having a part in it.

    9-11 REEKS of coverup and guys in business suits and uniforms involvement, it is a reichstagg fire event IMO, a serious, coordinated gamble of a complete coup d'etat.

    You are truly out of your mind. Open your eyes, and read what you wrote. This should be modded as funny, because you can't possibly be serious.
    You are blaming US for 9/11. Last I heard it wasn't Christian/Western Black and White people who flew airplanes into buildings killing over 3000 innocent people, it was those wonderfully open minded, tolerant, and loving Islamists.
    You speak of the torture of the Iraqi prisoners, well, you are right there at least, it was horrible and un-called for, where were you speaking out when the American civilian contractors, guarding a food caravan into Fallujah, were captured, killed, torn apart, burned, dragged through the streets, and hung from a bridge. Oh, sorry, that was done by those happy, wonderful peace loving Islamists again, so that's OK.
    At least when we screw up, we admit it. We, unlike almost every other country in the world, air our dirty laundry for everyone to see. We apologized for the torture, because apologizing was the right thing to do, and because what happened was abhorrent. No one apologized for the desecration of the Americans in Fallujah, or the mistreatment or OUR prisoners, but you know what, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Don't you dare judge all of America by the actions of a few twisted soldiers, isn't that exactly what you are whining about in your post? Our soldiers will be brought to justice.
    If we are so damn bad here, then get the hell out and go somewhere better, in fact you can email me and I'll pay for the ticket.
