"The FBI and Department of Justice's war on domestic terror has been racked with controversy. Critics hold that the FBI and Department of Justice are using the pretense of fighting terrorism as a means towards the end of suppressing political opposition. A 1,000 page report released earlier this week by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee details allegations of bias, incompetence, rampant corruption and statements made by several FBI whistleblowers that the Bureau's campaign against "domestic terrorism" is nothing more than a naked political crackdown against Constitutionally protected right-wing and religious beliefs. Among the specific charges made by over a dozen conscientious FBI agents, they contend that they were compelled by supervisors to manufacture fraudulent domestic terrorism data in order to justify increasing the federal government's power to crush legitimate political activity the powerful people disagree with."
