This makes very good sense from an overhead and duplicative role standpoint.
Yet, knowing aspects of the system, there would be a lessening of the
objectivity of the agencies, primarily because of the political choices to be
made.  Of course, there would be less competition between the agencies
(withholding information being a tool or weapon) but the guy/gal in charge
would have a particularly difficult challenge in balancing the political
priorities -- who does what best and how to preserve/let go of the best/worst
aspects.  The best thing to do would be to leave things as they are and
increase cooperation between the different elements.  This is the same story
with the military:  collect similar functions, each under a separate part,
rather than having each service manage the similar but different pieces on
their own.  One is also reminded of them olden dayze when John Edgar ran the
show and monopolised as much as he could.  In an open society, competition is
good; consolidation is less costly ($$$) but all eggs in one basket, et cetera,
et cetera ...

 Commission Urges Consolidation
 Of Law Enforcement Agencies
 7:24 a.m. ET (1224 GMT) February 2, 2000 By Jim Abrams
 WASHINGTON - The global dimensions of crime require that the attorney
 general and the FBI extend their authority over other law enforcement
 agencies such as the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, according to
 a congressional report.

 The Commission on the Advancement of Federal Law Enforcement recommended
 Tuesday that the law enforcement functions of the Treasury Department's ATF
 be shifted to the FBI and that the Drug Enforcement Administration become a
 separate division of the FBI.

Why do we have a Commission to advance Federal Law Enforcement, they have far
too much power now, not far from being a new Gestapo.  There are no
constitutional mandates for any of these agencies, therefore they should all
be dismantled.



 But the chairman of the five-member group, former FBI Director William H.
 Webster, said better coordination is crucial if the country is to meet the
 growing threats of global crime, terrorism and cyber-crime.

 "I have serious concerns about the readiness of the federal government to
 protect Americans and the national security" without structural changes, he
 said.

Maybe if we quit sticking our nose in other countries business there wouldn't
be any threats (real or imagined) to our country.


 The commission also criticized the recent tendency to "federalize" crimes.
 It said 40 percent of federal crimes have been put on the books since 1970
 and now total more than 3,000. "This situation threatens to overwhelm
 federal law enforcement capacities, just as dramatic and serious new law
 enforcement challenges grow in intensity."

 One of the first steps to world government is is to control individual
countries with a "iron hand" and all these federal laws are just that.  This
country was supposed to be composed of individual States with a small federal
government.

 Webster said that while such events as Ruby Ridge and Waco had become
 "metaphors" for some of the recent problems in law enforcement, they were
 only part of a larger picture that included some real successes such as law
 enforcement coordination after the 1995 bombing of the federal building in
 Oklahoma City.

Is "success" hiding the truth?

 The FBI was deeply involved in both the 1992 Ruby Ridge and 1993 Waco
 incidents. At Ruby Ridge, the wife and son of white separatist Randy Weaver
 and a deputy U.S. marshall died. At Waco, which began with a botched ATF
 raid on the Branch Davidians religious sect's complex, the FBI was in charge
 for most of the standoff that ended in the complex's destruction by fire,
 with more than 80 people dead.

Propaganda.  Randy Weaver's wife and son were murdered by a federal agency
that is out of control.  Why don't they print the truth, that 80 people were
massacred by burning them to death after gassing them excessively.

 The commission also recommended that law enforcement and intelligence
 communities better coordinate their activities, that global crime be made a
 national law enforcement priority and that Congress require that law
 enforcement agencies establish new standards for professionalism and
 integrity. 

How can these supposed "law enforcement" agencies take on "Global Crime" when
they can't even handle crime in this country?

Politicians and Politics have never been constructive in any country, the
politicians should not have a private army to push their unconstitutional
measures.

Bob Stokes
