Ray As a fellow psychoceramicist I think: Maybe she's just trying to cover her own ass. Who knows though, but most of this crap is just finding the errors and hoping we learn to better evaluate information. " 4) In one of my peripheral roles on the Moussaoui matter, I answered an e-mail message on August 22, 2001, from an attorney at the National Security Law Unit (NSLU). Of course, with (ever important!) 20-20 hindsight, I now wish I had taken more time and care to compose my response. When asked by NSLU for my "assessment of (our) chances of getting a criminal warrant to search Moussaoui's computer", I answered, "Although I think there's a decent chance of being able to get a judge to sign a criminal search warrant, our USAO seems to have an even higher standard much of the time, so rather than risk it, I advised that they should try the other route." In the end she makes an assertion that she does not back up and in fact I have heard this disputed by of all things....another lawyer, one that worked for the Justice Dept. I am generally for whistleblowers if they assert the conduct they are protesting is "illegal". They would not get much done if it was mere competence or diligence they were protesting, in fact, I daresay that's all any of them would be doing. It wouldn't be pretty.
