By their actions you will know them…

In this modern and blase world, it seems that men, and women, can sometimes get away with anti-social behavior under the protection of the First Amendment.

I’m sorry to find out that the FBI, of all organizations, finds it necessary to punish patriots and reward those guilty of treason. That has got to be an employee’s worst nightmare.

A week after the 9-11 attacks, in the Washington field office of the FBI, newly hired translator, Sibel Dinez Edmonds, found herself working with a group of Middle Eastern linguists who were sympathetic to the 9-11 terrorists!
