I have Karen Redmond caught in a lie to the ny times (she told them  
that they were scanning documents for social security numbers, the AO  
has just announced they are starting to develop that capability.   
whoops.
I'm characterizing the FBI investigation as a witchhunt, an attempt to  
silence whistleblowers, the reaction of a vindictive bureaucracy to  
being embarrassed by a major NY Times investigation and a U.S. Senate  
investigation.  There are no facts in dispute, we took advantage of  
their poorly designed program and they now have egg on their face and  
they ignored tens of thousands of violations of the e-government act  
in an attempt to cover up their malfeasance.
Like I said ... nuclear missile.  I'll do many drafts of this and it  
won't go out until the language is quite smooth, but lying and  
malfeasance are definitely the topics.  At the very least, this will  
result in a congressional hearing if they screw this up ... I'm even  
going to accuse them of knowing I wanted to be public printer and  
doing this FBI thing as a way of meddling in the executive branch to  
stop my appointment.  :)
