Another Orwellian moment, this time brought to you by the fine folks at the FBI—–look around, similar mind numbing behavior
pervades all levels of government, infecting us with fear, confusion, and the covenant that we all fall in line. And fall in line we do.

The FBI investigating itself? What a colossal waste of time. Knowing that most people would question any outcome of such an investigation, the FBI might, at a minimum, bring in an independent investigator to create the illusion of ethical behavior.

Worse yet:

“An FBI unit reportedly facing a criminal investigation for abusing the Patriot Act is asking Congress for $5.3 million in 2008 to continue paying three telecommunications companies to store Americans phone and internet records for years and to provide instantaneous access. The Justice Department has long been pushing telecommunications companies to retain phone and internet records for longer periods of time, and the contracts largely achieve the FBI’s goals.”

I love it when the government probes itself! That just sounded really perverted….

Next time some one complains about Wal-Mart doing bad things, I’m going to recommend Wal-Mart go probe itself. There’s some fair and balanced justice!
