Surprise surprise the feds and locals aren't and weren't on the same page and good guys died.

 

[Airborneguy]

No one died thankfully.

At least not with this transaction but we'll never know of the one's this federally funded misunderstood yote has dispatched in his past employment

In fairness (and I appreciate the correction on casualties, @Airborneguy)- some secrets work and are important enough to run with to disrupt larger networks. All about ROI. But there has to be some kind of coordination and communication so local door kickers dont kick down the door of local dirt bag #1 and LEO and standers by get shot up if theres a better way to do it. This isnt a LeCarre novel.

The opposite end of this spectrum is the 9/11 gang.

Yeah right, everything in government is a secret, okay, gotcha. An open and honest government is a scary thing.

That wasnt the point I was trying to make.

I hate words like "all" and "every" because I appreciate idealism but it isnt an ideal world.

But if we had better background checks, the government would have known about this guy, right?

.gov knew all kinds of things about Mohammad Attah.

Sorry, probably a cheap and unnecessary shot.

If I cooked up 8 slices of bacon took 4 and asked how much of the remaining bacon you would like how would you respond?

Sorry, what?

 

[Podmonkey]

Sorry, what?

I am attempting to troll you. Unsuccessfully apparently.
You wouldn't ask for "all" of the bacon or "every" piece?

The 2A tooK some hits. Eric Holder would be proud.

What makes you think that pork belly only yielded 8 pieces of bacon?

"All" and "every"- very hard to define.

Well that's the amount I had prepared. You're telling me that you would demand I cook you some more? Well some people, sheesh!

I appreciate that government sometimes needs some short term secrets.

But we have about 100x as many as we should have.

A government of the people shouldn't have very many secrets from the people at all.

And we should absolutely have an independent agency that's sole purpose is to determine if secrets really need to be kept. Anyone in government who thinks they have something that needs to be kept from the public should have a high hurdle to pass in order to do so, and the secrets should all be re-evaluated frequently with an eye toward releasing them as soon as the secrecy isn't absolutely necessary.

If this causes some problems, I think it's a price we should be willing to pay for accountability.
