The same thing that has become of us when we break laws to spy on people, kidnap people in the night and take them to secret prisons, and imprison people indefinitely because we're too scared to give them a fair trial.
We've sacrificed the core principles this country was founded on.

What is law really? We all break the law every day and yet we don't get punished. Breaking the law is only wrong when you get punished for it. People are punished at random for violations of law to maintain peace. Law in society is like morals. One day it is lawful to act one way and the next day it is against the law and you may be prosecuted. All we really need is to minimize the law and restrict the courts. Lawsuits are out of control. When people are stupid enough to harm themselves, they react by suing the company that didn't make their product stupid proof. When are people going to take back their common sense and stop blaming everyone else for their problems. The FBI is in the business to secure information. That's how investigators work. In order to do their job, the information they gather needs to be kept secure until such time that it is needed. That is for the federal bureau to decide not a court or legislature or president to make the information known.

Nothing has become of us. It's caught, it's dealt with.
That's why we have a democracy and freedom of the press.
What, you want to have a dictatorship? With freedom comes risk that some will abuse it. That's where free press comes in.
We get awfully tired of the "Oh, look how BAD the United States is!" routine. It is seditious and nonsensical, particularly for anyone who has travelled to other countries to any degree higher than "vacation" or has actually educated themselves past a "liberal arts education" (I have one, but I went further).
We aren't weak willed, we aren't puppets, we aren't cowards.
What happens? We kick some of them out, enforce the laws, and help the ones that are left clean house, pat them on the back for a job well done 99.9% of the time (if not more), and get back to work.
Other countries have a habit of silencing people like you (instead of letting them post on public sites), and keep breaking the law.
We dig it out and deal with it without treating everyone else in the FBI as if they did something wrong.
In this country, it is innocent until proven guilty.
Let's apply that to the other brave men and women who work at the Bureau, shall we?
Goodness sake!

What will happen is 9/11 as the FBI/CIA had enough info to suspect something was going on but each time dropped the matter and closed the case. There is something sinister going on involving the terrorists. The Muslim Brotherhood is working on 'The Project' which is the major stategy on infiltrating US going on right now.

Thats what happens when you have a President in office who starts hacking away at the constitution and civil rights by things like the patriot act and homeland security. Happens every time.
Nixon did the same thing....

26 problems out of 250,000 letters. That's a 0.01% error rate. I'd like to see you do better. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's darn good, IMHO.
