The stereotype on some of the police shows in which the local cops
find
that
the FBI gets in the way and wants all the credit, does seem to have
substance. Too often the FBI's tendency to misjudge local situations,
and/or
set up bizarre field operations ends in tragedy (Example: Ruby Ridge,
Waco).

If you want to assess the effectiveness of the FBI in police work I
suggest
you look into their accountability in the ongoing plague of
bankrobbery,
and
top, it off with a look at the scandals in their forensic labs,
perhaps
followed by a swig of their joke of a fingerprint system.

Yes. Phillip Jenkins, who's maybe the leading authority on serial
killers in the US, pointed out that no serial killer has ever been
caught by the FBI. Given the myth of Hannibal Lecter, etc., this is
slightly startling.

According to Jenkins, the typical way a serial killer is caught is that
he's stopped for doing something crazy, like driving at 80 mph in a 30
mph area, and the cop finds a body in the back seat.

Note to self: cut bodies into little ittsy-bittsy pieces and place in
steamer trunk, and then place steamer trunk in vehicle's trunk. Mind
speed
limits!

You have to be very proficient at "killing" cardboard targets with a .45 and
..38 pistol or an M-16 and M-1 rifle. Of course, it is not fair to use a BAR.

Who're you calling a non-American?

Anyone who would write "Who are" as Who'er is not an American by their
actions.

While it may be accceptable English in the UK, I sure ain't never seen it
written that way over here in the States.

Mark --but I could get used to it, easily.--


No - It ain't acceptable English in the uk eithr, AFAIK

Well, I can't speak for Davie (um......o.k., better me than him, but that's
another matter entirely), but anyone who displays as great a deficiency in
understanding this country as you do will qualify.

by that criterion, a hell of a lot of people who've lived their whole
lives in America are non-American too.

Sorry, I assumed you are a citizen of the UK.

To be honest I'm no longer an American - I renounced the citizenship
some years ago . But I'm certainly no citizen of the UK! I can trace my
ancestry back to 1723, without meeting a single Englishman.

Well, according to the neocon agenda, that's quite true. They call them
Liberals.

See, that's the thing about criteria; some things fit 'em and some
things don't. And the ones that do? Well, damned if they don't.
