The list could go on for quite a while, but this reminds me more of their handling of the anthrax attacks. Pinning the attacks on Bruce Ivins after driving him to suicide. It is pretty difficult finding anybody who actually agrees with the FBI on that one. Criminal investigations are tough enough, but when you are trying to catch somebody who is intelligent and doesn't want to be caught - it is pretty close to impossible. Couple that with political pressure and you get the present state, where it is much easier either create a boogieman (giving phony detonators to unstable people) or just piling more blame on those that can't defend themselves (dead men, hermit kingdoms). Also, I'm surprised that the Secret Service isn't mentioned in all this - they've traditionally been much better equipped to handle computer related crime. This is an area that the FBI has always really sucked at.
