<< Oh, come on Prudence! You would support ANYONE'S right to look at your FBI
file, just for the hell of it? You're just being silly now (I hope). It
would, perhaps, be different if they had a need to know, or a reason for
perusing the file but in many cases it seemed just to be a matter of "let's
take a look at that file, just because no one will stop us and we are
curious." I would hope that my file is kept out of the hands of everyone
except those who have a valid court order to look into it (not that I even
have a file, or that there is anything in it). Of course, I am not naive and
know that it would be available to all and sundry who have clearance. Still,
it's not right. >>
Your file would not be available to all and sundry who have a clearance. No
file ever is. First of all, there is the need to know matter. I doubt that
anyone is interested in my FBI file, and if they have a need to see it, they
can have at it. I don't think the files in the White House are such a
mystery. Remember when they discovered early on that some guy was sending
some kind of info to Barbara Bush. I suppose they might have gotten
suspicious of a lot of people at that time. Just who they sent for the
files, and who gave them to whomever they sent, I never heard. It's just
that it's amazing to hear such an uproar over the White House looking to see
whom they thought they could trust.
I remember one time when we were recruiting Japanese/English speaking guides
to work as guides at an Expo when the security officer from the Embassy was
using my phone to discuss something with an investigator. The conversation
that I heard went like this:
Security Officer: "Oh, well what about that fire he set when he was nine
years old?"
interlude while he listened--
"Oh that was his brother. Oh, okay. I guess he's a go."
Security Officer hangs up the phone and leaves.
When you deal with the Government you get used to that kind of snooping going
on. Do I think that anyone setting a fire while in Primary School is to be
cast out of society. No I don't. Did our ex-Marine Corps officer think so?
I guess so.
Do I think most files are interesting--absolutely not, and I don't think
anyone is going to look into anyone's just for the fun of it. Mostly I don't
think anyone gives a darn. Prudy
