I'm late getting to my mail backlog.

It's clear that cops cannot protect people, only try to catch the perpetrators.

I heard a particularly scary quote from Director Freeh last Sunday on NPR's Weekend Edition (I believe that was the show -- segment A-1) in which he declared "our job is to protect the people". If that were the FBI's job, then we'd have to look at it as one does to a loving parent and give it all the authority and respect a child gives a parent. - Carl +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Carl M.
