your suspicion, based on the idea that your ego was slighted when you were left out of the Intel loop says allot about your lack of understanding concerning security clearance and classified data
I had a security clearance for two years before being medically released from the NROTC program. I had to apply for one, so I understand classification of data.
My doubt is based on the fact that no evidence has been presented to substantiate their claims. Why should I simply accept what the government tells me? This same government told me that Iraq was an immenient threat to the US, and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war. No, they need PROOF in order for me to believe it, and if revealing the information would jeopardize an investigation, well then they aren't DONE foiling the plot then are they? So really, if they can't give us specifics on a terrorist bust, they don't have a terrorist bust at all. Follow?
I'm not saying the FBI is fabricating, I'm saying political hacks get wind of investigations and the spin machine runs its course. If a man were accused of murder, you'd demand evidence before a conviction, and you'd demand more evidence than, "well we have it, but we can't show you". The same principle applies here.
