Is it really any different when the mob is the FBI?

  They aren't really the mob - they are the actual pros who do this all the time. Presumably they aren't going to go and lynch someone because a random tipster emailed them a blurry photo.

    Not to mention that official law enforcement has governance in place to at least try to make sure they don't go and lynch someone on a hunch. It might not be perfect, but it's better than the alternatives.

      This is the same bunch of <i>professionals</i> that brought you the Waco siege. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege

        I hardly love the FBI, but I think it's fair to say that they're a far sight above Reddit and fucking 4chan.
