[Frameworks] Lawrence Brose court case

[Damon]

I'm in agreement, yikes!

Assuming there was reason for concern with Brose's work, why would it  
be a Homeland Security issue rather than a more pedestrian FBI  
issue.  I fear the reason is that Homeland Security has summary  
powers of detention and total control of evidence, while being  
detained by the FBI entitles one to due process in the legal system.   
Being charged by Homeland Security can operate at the level of  
unsubstantiated assertion when they refuse to produce the evidence by  
claiming it to be "sensitive" or a "concern for national security."   
Whereas the FBI has a much more difficult time bypassing the  
evidentiary proof of their charges.  Being charged by the FBI allows  
us presumed innocence, while Homeland Security seems to require we  
prove our innocence.

Increasingly, it seems that the Bush Administration created our  
"Secret Police", and the Obama Administration did not do its duty by  
dismantling it, and rather they have come to find it a convenient tool.
