Counterterrorism Agents Were Told They Could Suspend the Law

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday March 28, 2012 @05:22AM from the it's-not-like-terrorists-are-people dept.

politkal writes "According to the FBI's internal inquiry on counterterrorism training, the FBI taught agents that the Bureau 'has the ability to bend or suspend the law to impinge on the freedoms of others;' that agents should 'never attempt to shake hands with an Asian;' that Arabs were 'prone to outbursts' of a 'Jekyll & Hyde' nature." Even better: "That review, now complete, did not result in a single disciplinary action for any instructor. Nor did it mandate the retraining of any FBI agent exposed to what the Bureau concedes was inappropriate material. Nor did it look at any intelligence reports that might have been influenced by the training."

ARE prone to have a "short fuse". there is nothing "racist" about anyone confirming this fact, nor the mere notion of mentioning it.

And yet people are willing to entrust their healthcare to "as the Secretary [of Health and Human Services] shall determine" and a 15-member panel of government-appointed bureaucrats [Section 3403 of the Obamacare law]
