You know, combat boots may be sensible shoes for some ...

Has this been everywhere yet? I don't care. I want it on a bumpersticker. And maybe a hoodie.

One internal F.B.I. message, sent in October 2003, criticized the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review at the Justice Department, which reviews and approves terrorist warrants, as regularly blocking requests from the F.B.I. to use a section of the antiterrorism law that gave the bureau broader authority to demand records from institutions like banks, Internet providers and libraries.

"While radical militant librarians kick us around, true terrorists benefit from OIPR's failure to let us use the tools given to us," read the e-mail message, which was sent by an unidentified F.B.I. official. "This should be an OIPR priority!!!"

There's not a hoodie, but there are t-shirts, bags, pins, magnets and one of those trendy oval location stickers here http://www.cafepress.com/mrlibn Happy shopping. Maybe someone will make your holidays a little brighter by gifting you one!

I'm gonna have to agree with the call for a hoodie, but this is a damn fine start!
