The Mongoose Gang* in the US

It appears that people under investigation in what appear to be politically motivated cases, and those who whistle blow on the same, are being systematically targeted with arson, break ins, and attempts to force their car from the road.

Cases in point:
  • Governor Don Siegelman home was burglarized twice with nothing taken, "the only items of interest to the burglars were the files in Siegelman's home office."
  • Siegelman's attorney experienced the same type of break-in at her office.
  • Dana Jill Simpson, who went on 60 Minutes to allege that Siegelman was the target of a political prosecution had her home burned down, and her car forced off the road.
  • In Muississipi, in a similar case, attorney Paul Minor, had his office broken into, Mississippi Supreme Court Justice, Oliver E. Diaz Jr., had his home burglarized, again with nothing taken except documents and a computer , and another defendant, John Whitfield, had his office was the target of arson.
I want my country back.

*Mongoose Gang reference is here. I went on vacation to Grenada a number of times as a kid, and the name given to Eric Gairy's group of thugs and bully-boys used to enforce political intimidation always stuck in my head.
