...indisputable: until after Hoover's death in May 1972, the FBI did not devote resources to investigating organized crime while assigning top priority to exposing and prosecuting communists (broadly defined). The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and other left-wing labor groups were relentlessly suppressed but organized crime labor racketeers were hardly opposed. By pursuing "radicals" rather than Mafiosi, Hoover contributed to the emergence of an American labor movement heavily infiltrated and influenced by organized crime...

... The Assassinations Committee reported in 1979 that the FBI probe of Kennedy's murder had been "seriously flawed," "insufficient to have uncovered a conspiracy." The committee's own investigation, meanwhile, identified men who had said the President was going to be killed, along with associates who acted highly suspiciously before and after the assassination. It appears, moreover, that the FBI was aware in 1963 of all or most of the clues the the committee followed sixteen years later.
Edgar, former aides confirm, gave personal attention to all aspects of the assassination. "He got everything, knew about everything," Cartha DeLoach recalled. "We didn't dare hold anything back." Yet Edgar ignored a mass of information that, when the Assassinations Committee came upon it years later, would suggest conspiracy...

Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington

..."Senator, ...100,000 people paid with their lives; 1,600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.
"If the world had listened to [UN Secretary General] Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to [French] President Chirac, who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the antiwar movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth," argued Galloway.
Then the Brit turned the tables on Coleman and steered the committee's attention toward "the real Oil for Food scandal."
"Have a look at the fourteen months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first fourteen months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money but the money of the American taxpayer," Galloway said.
"Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where. Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it. Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government." ...
