  Is the President a good guy that we are obliged to follow? I think you have it backwards. The FBI derives it's power from the people it serves. It is in all our interests to have healthy functioning governments that serve their communities well. (Is there any other role of a government?) That happens through discussion and debate, not through doing whatever they tell us to do.

  The (incorrect) concept of the world consisting of good and bad guys whilst dangerous and leading to flawed reasoning about society (of which this post is an excellent example) is fascinating. I'd be really interested in how it became so prevalent in US society.

  Do you think that government agencies are beyond reproach and should not be held accountable for their actions? Unfortunately the FBI has a long history of activities clearly contrary to the public good.
