Dday has a must-read on the FBI's mishandling of the anthrax scare case, which has resulted so far in the suicide of a scientist who was the prime suspect -- based on no evidence. And now they want more power to botch more cases.
It occurs to me that this sort of mess has its roots in the same mindset as faith-based science: the FBI has evidently decided on a perpetrator and is trying to fit the evidence to their conclusion -- except it doesn't fit. Think about how someone such as Paul Cameron does psychological research, or the YE creationists delve into the geological record.
Scary, isn't it?
Dave Neiwert has some observations on this, as well.
