EATING THE FBI’S LUNCH

Jack Kelly writes:

The FBI's bumbling in the war on terror, and the tendency of the FBI to promote the bumblers, has made it one of our weakest links in the chain of agencies tasked with protecting America's security.

Foreign spies have been eating the FBI's lunch for years. Katrina Leung, for example, was permitted to pass along critical national secrets for years after she'd confessed to being a spy for Red China because the two FBI agents who were supposed to be monitoring her were sleeping with her.

Neither of those agents was punished.

The ghastly reality is that, for many senior people in the FBI, their careers come first, the reputation of the FBI second. The security of the United States is a distant third."
