* "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996
*
* After the Oklahoma City bombing, Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick
* and FBI Director Freeh announced that they had decided to reinterpret
* twenty-year-old Justice Department guidelines originally put in place to
* restrain the FBI from violating the constitutional rights of political
* dissidents.
*
* "If those guidelines are interpreted broadly and proactively, as opposed
* to defensively, as has been the case for many many years, I feel confident
* ...we have sufficient authority," Freeh told a Senate Committee.
*
* William Safire, the conservative New York Times columnist with libertarian
* leanings, was appalled, asking if there wasn't anyone in the government
* who remembered how the FBI played the game in the bad old days?
*
* "To the applause of voters fearful of terrorism," Safire wrote, "the pro-
* activists declare their intention to prevent crime. This would be followed
* by surveillance of suspect groups by using new technology, the infiltra-
* tion of political movements deemed radical or violence prone; and the
* stretching of guidelines put in place 20 years ago to restrain yesterday's
* zealots."

Fear, loathing, hysteria, and a massive misdirection of resources:

* At about the same time that the FBI agent was knocking on Mrs. Bernard's
* door, the bureau had 21,000 allegations of savings and loan fraud it was
* unable to investigate, and at least 2,400 inactive financial crime inves-
* tigations awaiting consideration. In the San Diego area, for example,
* lack of available agents meant the FBI would not even consider investi-
* gating bank fraud cases unless they involved losses of at least one
* million dollars.
