Do you folks in the UK really want the DOJ and FBI looking at YOUR transactions, too? It's none of their damned business!!!
I need a valium, and I need it bad. I kid you not. I am aghast, astounded and horrified.
They don't go after drug cartels with such vigor. Are they insane? Do we have another cross dressing paranoic in charge of the DOJ and FBI?

Okay, now I know the Mouse is pissed....she said the "F" word. All kidding aside Mousey, my reaction was identical to yours when I read that article, identical. Someone said to me last night (think it was Winbig), that he'd bet George was turning in his grave, and he didn't mean Bush obviously..he meant Washington. How true.
And I agree, when is someone going to stand up to them and say "enough is enough", and this is bullshit.
I really have to wonder how many of the 300,000,000 (is that right?) people living in your country actually have any clue that this is going on? And that this is what taxpayers dollars are being spent on? Wouldn't and shouldn't they be outraged if they knew? Or as society as a whole become that apathetic that they just don't give a shit? Gambler or not, how can anyone think this is okay?
Sort of a sidenote. Those two Neteller (ex) founders that were arrested, are Canadian citizens. I've been giving some thought to trying to find out how the people in MY country feel about it, and the politicians. Or do we not give a shit either? I'd settle for making people aware of it, I just don't know how.
