I suppose what I was trying to imply was that the FBI was born of these tactics, emboldened by Hooover, condoned by the courts until they-the bureau-grew to such a size that (combined with McCarthyist politicking and language waged over nebulous concepts like "terrorism" and "drugs") that this is just a par 3 course for them.
It doesn't make these things right of course, but I can't feign apoplectic over it either. You should expect better, but those expectations should be tempered just a bit. I don't think any amount of coverage or outrage is going to make a dent in this problem as long as the system the FBI operates in refuses to keep itself in check.
