I expect a certain portion of the US Authorities to behave that way - because
it seems there is a section willing to abuse their authority. So I'm not
surprised when I read about that although I still stand for the proposition such
behavior is wrong.
I expect BSF to behave that way - because they have an
incredibly time proven track record on such behavior. So I'm not surprised when
I read about such behavior - again, still standing for the proposition it's
wrong.
I didn't expect such a statement to come from a MoFo Lawyer as
they don't - in my experiences - have such a track record. As a result, I was
surprised when Jacobs put forth such an argument - and of course, it's still
wrong!
It's like having a constant good kid and a constant bad kid. When
the bad kid does something bad - no surprise. If the good kid ends up doing
something bad, behavior that is very out-of-character, then it becomes a
surprise. In both cases bad behavior is still wrong. But the sudden change
from expectation leads to surprise.
Of course, the concept outlined above
should be pretty obvious and plain to most adults so I shouldn't really have had
to explain it in such detail.
