FBI Was Warned About Assassin By Other Clinic, Did Nothing

Over and over again, the clinic people even videotaped Roeder super-gluing the locks on their doors shut. This goes back to 2000, and all the way up to the weekend before the assassination of Dr. Tiller. All the FBI ever did with this convicted, violent criminal is “talk to him” despite the fact that they had proof of multiple federal crimes he was committing, provided on video by the clinic manager.UPDATE: Here is a summary rundown of the story so far, emphasizing that Bush/Ashcroft/Gonzales reduced enforcement of the federal law designed to protect abortion clinics from attacks, which Roeder was violating for a decade with impunity.

Amy Goodman and Rachel Maddow are far out ahead of other broadcast journalists on this story.
