WASHINGTON - The Justice Department increasingly has refused to prosecute FBI cases targeting suspected terrorists over the past five years, according to private researchers who reviewed department records.

The government says the findings are inaccurate and "intellectually dishonest."

The report being released Monday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University raises questions about the quality of the FBI's investigations.

Prosecutors declined to bring charges in 131 of 150, or 87 percent, of international terrorist case referrals from the FBI between October 2005 and June 2006, according to the report. The study was based on the most recent data available from the Justice Department's executive office for U.S. attorneys.

That number marks the peak of generally steady increases from the 2001 budget year, when prosecutors rejected 33 percent of such cases from the FBI, according to the report.

The data "raise troubling questions about the bureau's investigation of criminal matters involving individuals the government has identified as international terrorists," the report said.

@tumbleweed cv,

Liberals are certainly in the government , bureaucrats tend to stay a long time . They do not typically change when another party takes over at the top .

Code:

 "It's not about the numbers and for TRAC to suggest as much is to be      

     intellectually dishonest."

True , you see - "TRAC co-director Susan Long said researchers merely relied on the Justice Department's own numbers to come up with the conclusions."
We all know that numbers can be crunched in many different ways , look at polls for instance .

Code:

 "A Justice Department spokesman disputed the data [B]highlighted[/B] by 

the Syracuse researchers, noting that terrorist hoax cases that were quickly dismissed may have been included in the government data."

Researchers have been known to use data in favor of a cause and ignore data contradictory to the goal of the research .

So what's the point of the post? Are you happy there free, did you want us to torture them, what? Are you mad at the government for letting them go?

very telling that you would scramble "prosecuted" and "persecuted."

Freudian slip?

@oleo,

It's amazing that while liberals control everything, even the courts, and have
infiltrated everything the Republican neo-cons have managed to do so much harm.

Underlying feelings of impotence and powerlessness. I have a feeling that is
what's behind a lot of knee-jeck conservatism.
