This is the NORML echo - you can write SHIT if you want to. (The word I 
an).
The first question is how much have you read and investigated the CIA? FBI?
Have your ever FOIA requested info from them and read reports (that were able 
to be released) on what they did etc?
Do you agree or disagree the above agencies manipulate and misuse the media 
according to their own whims and agenda?
If not then you must think the treatment of Richard Jewell was permissible - 
even the above agencies are going to have to pay when the lawsuits are 
settled.
Try Puzzle Palace (a 20 year old book with a recent update) that pretty much 
describes the intelligence community.
Try the Church committee hearings on the intelligence community.

OK - this is getting way out of context of the NORML echo area so if you care 
-let's continue this discussion in the Civ Lib echo.
Or reply private mail to me.
