A hearty 'FUCK YOU' to the FBI

Sorry, not intended to irritate, I write like I speak: I’ll try to remember (though I may not get it always right).

:::tiptoeing into the line of fire:::

What could be in those 3,100 papers that could absolve McScum anyway?

Nothing from what I’ve heard.

But one of his attorneys or someone connected with his case-I can’t remember. It was late- was talking about a mistrial.

Jeez, Tranq, you’re acting like it was the Feds who blew up the fucking building, not Lil’ Timmy. Calm the fuck down, would you?

OK, So I’ve had a long weekend to think about this. Why am I so mortally offended by this situation? Why the vituperation?

I guess it boils down to: Failure of integrity. I spent close on half my life living integrity day in and day out. It was (and still is, apparently) more of a religion than my actual religion, in that it was everywhere about me, and those that possesed it were blessed, and those that were without were damned beyond redemption. I, and my fellows, swore an oath, as have the agents of the FBI, and to fail in that oath was (and again, still is) unforgivable. I swore to protect this country against all enemies, foriegn and domestic, and I’ve just seen those enemies given reprieve by those whom should know better.

I’ve been face-to-face with real, living, breathing EVIL, and I know it in many forms: The repulsive domestic abuser; the subtle menace of complacent self-interest; the righteous face of the zealot; the seductive face of a willing young beauty with a mind full of racist maggots; and this:

Now: Go out and wallow in the evil. See if you, too, are not mortally offended at anyting that gives these persons more ammuntition, more justification, more ‘proof’ that they are right. Integrity, honesty, and vigilance are our only defense against these persons. All we have to do, to let them have their way, is to sit on our asses. It’s not fun to do a difficult, often thankless, job, but the job of the FBI is too damn important to not be done perfectly. Where duty and integrity have failed, I hope brilliant, coruscating shame will goad them to never fail again.

SPOOFE
I am calm, relatively speaking. I don’t have the vocabluary to express my rage at McVeigh and company. I do, just barely, have the vocabluary to express my anger at the FBI, but you’ve no idea what I’m like when I’m really and truly pissed. I don’t like going to that place; I’m scared of myself when I get there. McVeigh got to that place, and wouldn’t stop himself, didn’t care about the evil of what he intended. This FBI Fuck-up may help others get to that place, and that scares me more: Many of these people have little, save circumstance, to stop them from doing real harm.

I understand your desire to defend your friends, but from where I sit, there is no appropriate defense for this failure. If your friends didn’t play a role in this fiasco, then they need only bear the shame of belonging to an organization that failed it’s Trust. If they were responsible for delivering those missing documents to Counsel for the Defense, or for the supervision of those responsible, or for putting in place the checks necessary to prevent failure, or the oversight and verification of the adequacy of those checks, or are the Director, then they bear the full weight of my wrath and scorn.

If any of you feel I’m over the top, well, so be it.

Damn it, Tranquilis, now I feel ill.

I just finished reading The Daily Oklahoman and the coverage over this and the survivor’s feelings and was pretty damn upset along with them but those links and quotes you’ve posted above are just too much.

I think I’m going to go cry now.

I’m sorry, Arden, I truly am. If you don’t look Evil in the eye, it’ll slip past you, and that can’t be permitted.

It sucks, more than I have the power to speak, that anyone need see what I’ve seen, but everyone of good will needs to understand what we face, and what waits for us in the dark. Those links I’ve posted, and hundreds more, are only the public face of the hatred out there. They don’t need any more encouragement, and thus, my anger.
