How sad!

How sad it is that the FBI, rather than lay open the wound for cleansing would rather it be sealed so it can fester.

How sad, that a once prestigious Law Enforcement entity has now become a shadowy government arm that uses secrecy as a blanket to cover its mistakes.

How sad, that another Muslim, and one in a highly profile government job, has foolishly chosen to join ranks with Terrorists using their common religion as an excuse rather than honoring the oath he took "to serve and to protect."

How sad, that Special Agent Gamal Abdel-Hafiz, in a rare opportunity to show that Americans who are Muslim will be American first and thus prove that Muslims can be trusted in Government, has poorly chosen to sympathize with religious extremists who fuel the flames of anti-Muslim promoters.

How sad, for he has done more harm to the cause of Americans who are Muslim than help them with his collusion with known Terrorists.

How sad, for us, that distrust grows every day. We used to be a nation of the free, and now we're turning into a nation of the fearful.

How sad!
