The bad news is that America has gotten itself into a huge mess by not
being careful enough about its governing principles. The good news is
that the mess is becoming more obvious and the reaction against it is
growing.
A recent example of this mess was the government's refusal to prosecute
some 200 Israeli espionage agents in the biggest spy ring ever broken up
in this country. These Jewish espionage agents were arrested by the FBI
last year, both before and after the September 11 attack. After
September 11, however, when the Bush government realized that these
Israeli agents not only had been spying on various U.S. military and
government installations but also had been shadowing the al-Qaeda agents
in this country and that Israel had advance information about the attack
that it did not share with the U.S., the spies were all quietly sent
back to Israel instead of being prosecuted.
There is an internal shakeup and reorganization going on now in the FBI,
and Dr. Pierce believes that it is not to increase the FBI's efficiency,
but instead to adapt it better to its politicized role and to allow it
to do a better job of maintaining cover-ups without leaks.
The bright side of this is that the more corrupt the government and its
secret police agencies become, the easier it becomes to fight them. The
most formidable enemy is an honest enemy, an enemy who believes in the
rightness of his cause. A corrupt enemy, who cares only about his
career, is easier to defeat.
