Thanx DMA. I'm sure you've heard about the FBI agents from Minn. who by-passed their Washington bosses and went to the CIA terror section with info. on the 9/11 terrorists. They did it because Washington FBI didn't think it was important. Of course this all happened before 9/11. Where is J. Edger in his pink to-to when we need him? <G>

>> White-collar crime experts voiced shock at the allegations, especially the FBI agents' alleged involvement. "I've never come across a case like this one," said Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor who heads the government investigations practice at the Newark law firm of McCarter & English. "It seems incredibly bold to use the government's own resources to orchestrate a stock-manipulation scheme." They obviously weren't looking too hard. Stock Watch should go back and review activity in every issue that was in the database during Royer and Wingate's tenure. >Silicon Investor members demanded Mr. Elgindy be reinstated after he was suspended from the site in 1999 when his remarks got a little too caustic. I remember all too well. A weak moment for SI management, to be sure. >The most serious charge against each defendant carries a prison term of up to 20 years. I hope they throw the book at 'em and give the maximum with consecutive terms. A message needs to be sent, loud and clear. And, heads need to roll at the FBI. I can't understand how these agents and accomplices expected not to be caught, and worse, why it took so long the the FBI to catch them.

With this, one it might be time to get a rope! ________________________________________________________ Phoenix memo, Moussaoui information went to same FBI task force WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The July memo from a Phoenix, Arizona, FBI agent talking about Middle Eastern men taking flying lessons and the information about Zacarias Moussaoui arrested in August went to the same FBI task force at headquarters, according to an official. FBI and Justice Department officials still do not know, however, if both the memo and the Moussaoui information was seen by the same person or persons within the Radical Fundamentalist Unit task force, according to the official. The Phoenix memo, written by agent Kenneth Williams, actually went to two task forces at FBI headquarters: the Radical Fundamentalist Unit and one dedicated to Osama bin Laden, but no action was taken on its recommendation for a nationwide survey of Arab-American students attending flight schools. Agent Coleen Rowley, in her letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller last week, says an unidentified FBI supervisory special agent "seemed to have been consistently, almost deliberately thwarting the Minneapolis FBI agents' efforts" to push the Moussaoui investigation. She does not say where this agent worked within headquarters. "HQ (headquarters) personnel never disclosed to the Minneapolis agents that the Phoenix Division had, only approximately three weeks earlier, warned of al Qaeda operatives in flight schools seeking flight training for terrorist purposes," Rowley wrote in her letter. After Moussaoui's arrest, headquarters staff refused to push the request by the Minneapolis field office to either get a criminal search warrant or a special national security warrant to authorize a search of the suspect's computer. Rowley also alleges in her letter this unidentified agent did not add information he had promised to put in and made "several changes in the wording" of the application asking for permission to seek the special national security warrant.
