Such treatment should normally be reserved for the most dangerous of criminals. But even more stunning is the extent to which the government grossly exaggerated their claims against Lee. Last August a FBI agent admitted that he gave false testimony at Lee's bond hearing. Experts testified that the information Lee downloaded wasn't as sensitive as the government argued.

It took me a long time to give up this dream, to realize that my passion for literature and wimpiness were not going to bring me to the forefront of the law enforcement profession. For me, the FBI is unattainable. In high school parlance, it's the in-crowd and I'm the kid on the outside...
