Submitted by Jarson Hippie (United States), Nov 29, 2006 at 22:36

After all the thorough analysis, and investigation, Big brother is finally cornered to apologize for grossly violating the rights it's trying to protect. Apparently it apologizes for carrying out covert operations because it was a mishandled a "fingerprint" ID procedure. Was the FBI trying to get the terrorists by using a $24.99 CSI Fingerprint tool box for Kids merchandise ?

"The United States of America apologizes to Mr. Brandon Mayfield and his family for the suffering caused by the FBI's misidentification of Mr. Mayfield's fingerprint and the resulting investigation of Mr. Mayfield, including his arrest as a material witness in connection with the 2004 Madrid in bombings and the execution of search warrants and other court orders in the Mayfield family home and in Mr. Mayfield's law office."
