FBI Says Files In Leak Cases Are ‘Missing'

Submitted by Fritz Casselman, Dec 28, 2006 10:46

Wow. I've always taken modest comfort that, even though the FBI knows far more about me than I wish, it is too incompetent to do anything about it. Now we see a startlingly high incompetence rate on matters that presumably the FBI actually cares about. While that should bolster my aforementioned comfort, this effect is far outweighed by my reluctant recognition that this incompetence level probably extends to matters which both the FBI and the nation, me included, consider important.
