Holy crap! Next you'll be accusing the Department of Commerce of using taxpayer funds to go around the country trying to convince American companies and corporations to lay off American workers and offshore their jobs --- with the corporations doing the most offshoring awarded by bennies and cheap - no cost - loans from the Import-Export Bank....Ah..oh..too late!!!
BTW, you know that name Garza is a very interesting name. Demographically speaking (and strangely enough, I am not kidding), more people with that name are either in prison or are ex-convicts....curiouser and curiouser....
I suspect the parent poster, a "coincidence theorist," believes whomever is arrested is always guilty given the infallibility of all authoritarian figures.
So, for their sake, and any uneducated out there (you know who you are), let's review the following - proven - conspiracies in the last few decades:
(1) the Enron Conspiracy, thusly proven in court, involving over 100 people (although only several were bothered to be indicted and found guilty), including the collusion of power company operators falsifying rolling blackouts,
(2) the tobacco conspiracy, already the subject of a movies and "60 Minutes" exposes,
(3) the John F. Kennedy assassination, which a House of Representatives committee investigation did rule to be an actual conspiracy, although they classified their investigation results (rather mysteriously, I might add, this occurred in the late '80s or early '90s); and,
(4) the Trolley Car Company buyouts and dissolution conspiracy, which occurred over a period of thirty-some years back in the 20th century. This was proven in the 1974 Senate Transit investigations where retired executives, formerly with GM, Sunoco and Firestone, under oath admitted that their corporations pruchased electric trolley services and companies throughout the nation, then dissolving these enterprises to ensure the adoption of buses in order to sell more vehicles, tires and gas. (Excellently covered in Jane Jacobs' last book, Dark Age Ahead. Highly recommended.)

As a card-carrying conspiracy theorist - not an accepter of Dick Cheney's official bedtime stories - let me be the first to point out that hopefully the FBI finally got it right this time --- as they are certainly expert when it comes to obstructing justice and witness tampering....
If I have time, I shall endeavor to do so, but it was just read over the air on CSPAN last month when the senate committee was once again questioning that half-assed shyster, attorney general Gonzales.
Wow!! Futurists predict.... Gosh, that's certainly got a lot of gravity behind it, given the rather obvious fact that "futurists" have been completely wrong on all their predictions to date, except, of course, those who claim - after the fact - to have been right.... My faith in "futurists'" predictions would be, ah, maybe equal to my faith in Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle on their knowledge and preditions of that Iraqi war (actually, invasion and occupation).
There is a section in the Patriot Act allowing for the suspension of habeas corpus, with no limits defined. I use to repeat the specific section, but it's been awhile and I am no longer interested in rereading that bilge again, suggest you read it at least once. And any good leatherneck should read General Smedly Butler's "War is a Racket" at least once - assuming they still make you bless him at night in boot.
Hmmm...ChoicePoint? Acxiom?? Elensys??? SRA International??? Searchspace??? First Data??? Systems Research and Development??? LexisNexis (Seisint)???? Visionics??? Civitas Group??? TransCore???? Comverse Technology???? RiskWise???? Market Intelligence Group????
HOLY CRAP!!! Don't you EVER read the newspapers??? About 3 to 4 months ago, FBI guy arrested for child porn stuff. Awhile prior to that, big scandal about feebs trying to pull scam on Wall Street brokerage and people, prior to that, those FBI people convicted of being Mafia snitches, gave criminals inside information leading to murders of FBI informants. Ever hear of Ruby Ridge? FBI Assistant Director (under Louis "the Sicilian" Freeh's reign) was demoted before being tried, and convicted for obstruction of justice, falsification of evidence, etc., etc. Later his sentence was overturned when Bushies came into power....Please get with the program and stay current...and note I haven't even mentioned the five FBI agents busted for selling secrets to the Soviets over the preceding thirty years....
OK, wise a**, so I spelled his name wrong: it should read Bill Cristal, consider me chastised....I just can't remember all those neocon, draft-dodgers'names....
Actually, under Patriot Acts I & II, they no longer have to announce the charges, except years later when they are sued in civil court for using those waterboarding techniques....
And speaking of conspiracy stuff please check out this newspaper column, then realize that the columnist that wrote this had a name change, was born and grew up in Russia, and has a long association with the Cato Institute (ostensibly a "libertarian think tank" but they normally side with the neocons on almost everything.
If only more Americans had read the US Constitution....
Wow!!! You're probably right on track, dude. And the FBI can immediately track any hacking down now that Total Information Awareness is fully operational and online. Geez, is anyone safe anymore. Maybe now Bush can find his longlost brother, Osama bin Bush....
Guess you're out of the loop, guy, the feebs of the FBI aren't responsible to the American public, only to Terror Czar Gonzales of the DOJ and the neocons (and perhaps Bill Crystal and Richard Perle). The Total Information Awareness is only allowed to be accessed by the bad guys, not the good guys.... (do you think the FBI will ever do a criminal investigation of 9/11/01????).
Political "strategists" discover technology! Whoever would have thought it!!
Seriously, though, will this affect the future election thefts? Will this affect the reality that the Supreme Court acted unconstitutionally when it decided the 2000 election, when clearly the US Constitution states in such a circumstance it is decided by congress? Will this affect the reality that the US Congress both abdicated all responsibility and acted unlawfully by acting unconstitutionally when givin Bush warmaking ability in 2002, when that is the sole purview of congress?
Hey! Everything's OK, political "strategists" are using iPods and accessing MySpace (keep off my page, dammit!).

But I thought if we weren't guilty of anything, we didn't have anything to worry about (common rant of the neocon, neofascist, neofucktard).

Just another Amazon commercial --- please move along.
No, no, no....you're supposed to spend that time in waiting in line checking out the babes....what's become of this nation????
Could we please clean up our language a little bit here????
A great book, recently published, by Bart D. Ehrman, called Misquoting Jesus might be good reading for you.

I'm sure the victims of 9/11/01 are thanking you from the grave at this very moment and singing high praises for the FBI's professionalism.....

Listen, anyone who belongs to that many TLAs and FlAs, has to be guilty of something.
