Latest Revelations on the FBI's Data Mining of America

Posted by samzenpus on from the just-forward-your-mail-to-homeland-security dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You probably already knew that the FBI was data mining Americans in the "search" for potential terrorists, but did you know that they're also supposed to be looking for people in the U.S. engaged in criminal activity that is not really supposed to be the province of the federal government? Now the feds are alleged to be data mining for insurance fraudsters, identity thieves, and questionable online pharmacists. That's what they're telling us now. What else could they be looking for that they are not telling us about?"

    Remember that genocide in 1994, where one million Africans died in a couple months? Well according to this Canadian article http://http//www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/stor y.html?id=506cd39e-5568-432c-8dc3-f495d3ab41bf&p=1 /, the French not only knew about it before hand, they supplied and trained the killers for three years.

    And French /.ers have said they opposed Bush's war in Iraq because they don't want violence. Bull.

    I don't feel like loggins in for this, so feel free to mod me a troll.
