Casino67 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 TheSacramentoBee:WASHINGTON -- The FBI said Wednesday that members of an anti-gay fundamentalist group participated in the bureau's training of police officers and FBI agents - a move the bureau says it will take steps to remedy in the future.The bureau extended the invitations to Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., for training this spring at two bureau facilities in Virginia: Quantico and Manassas.Westboro has stirred widespread outrage with raucous demonstrations at the funerals of U.S. military service members. The group contends God is punishing the military for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.National Public Radio first reported the FBI's involvement with Westboro.At FBI headquarters in Washington, bureau spokesman Paul Bresson acknowledged that Westboro was invited to the training sessions.

Sabre86 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 If this had happened under Bush, it would be made into the next Watergate. Since Obama is President, it will be buried or dismissed by the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must of forgot Bush was no longer in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
