I hope you understand that by now. * "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996 * * A few months after his appointment as the new director of the Federal * Bureau of Investigation, Louis J. Freeh delivered a speech at the National * Press Club in Washington. * * More than two hundred Washington-based reporters, congressional staffers * and interested lobbyists had come, and because the speech was carried by * C-Span, National Public Radio and the Global Internet Computer Network, * and would be the basis for articles in newspapers all over the United * States, Freeh was also delivering his message to a much larger national * and international audience. * * "The people of this country are fed up with crime," Freeh declared.

In the past 30 years, * homicides have nearly tripled; robberies and rapes each are up ove
