@ D. A. M.
When I was a kid, we used to read about Scotland Yard, The Mounties, and the FBI. About how incorruptible they all were.
I remember the genuine shock in the UK when there was some big scandal in the RCMP back in the 70s. As for the Yard, I'm from London, so no surprises there.
In the 70s I found out about the fact that J. Edgar Hoover was gay, and living with his boyfriend at US government expense. And therefore a fucking hypocrite.
But that seems to be the way of the world these days. They break every conceivable law, give a mealy-mouthed and grudging non-apology when found out, and then carry on. They never suffer any consequences.
It really seems that the FBI is going insane at the top. Is it just because it's run by politicians now - apparently, or is the quality of the organisation itself actually going to hell?
