Be prepared, people ! By Tom C. Tabor Montana Food always seems to taste better when it has [...]
- Powdery Mildew VWell, the baking soda/ soap mix has a drawback after all: It covers the plant leaves with seasoning for the deer who hitherto were uninterested in our vegetables and rather ate the young maple leaves. Especially the cucumbers must have been a delicious addition to family deer’s diet for when we inspected our garden this [...]
- Powdery Mildew IVAfter a pause yesterday I sprayed again today and am pleased with the result… I know you should not count your chickens before they are hatched, but it looks as if the zucchini and all the other infected plants are doing really good now ! No new mildew, but plenty of new foliage growth, and the [...]

FBI: Global intelligence and law enforcement agency
Oh, I was under the impression that the FBI was “a federal criminal investigative body and a domestic intelligence agency. .”
http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/speeches/mueller051608.htm
Robert S. Mueller, III, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation
National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
May 16, 2008
If we in the FBI safeguard our civil liberties but leave our country vulnerable to terrorist attack, we have lost. If we protect America from terrorism but sacrifice our civil liberties, we have also lost. Every day, the men and women of the Bureau must strike this balance.
We recognize that if we are to be successful as a global intelligence and law enforcement agency, we must be as transparent as possible. We welcome scrutiny from Congress, the American public, and the press. Yes, this scrutiny is sometimes painful. But in the long run it does make us better, because we understand that our ability to protect the American people depends in large part on the people’s trust in the FBI.
