To the Editor:

     FBI spokesman Michael Kortan is in an impossible position. In order to assure the public that FBI agents would never "bend or suspend the law" as laid out in their own training materials, he must acknowledge that FBI agents are broadly willing to violate the letter of their own law--including that training material. Spokesman Kortan is paid to tie himself into such knots.  Readers look to this paper to expose such nonsense.
