The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, is apparently alive, well in his Florence, CO, digs, and ticked off that his Montana cabin is part of an exhibit glorifying the FBI, at, of all places, the Newseum in Washington, DC, a museum focused on the contributions of American journalism.
How much does the exhibit “G-Men and Journalists: Top News Stories of the FBI’s First Century,” cover the FBI’s utterly incompetent handling of the anthrax murders (resulting in a $5.8 million settlement to one scientist and the suicide of another ’suspect’), its hounding of innocent Atlanta Olympics bomber suspect Richard Jewell, its failure to stop the 19 (!) suicide terrorists of 9/11 or its continuing hunt for ransom hijacker D.B. Cooper–37 years and counting?
My guess is not so much, after reading that “The section about Kaczynski, called “A Mad Bomber and His Manifesto” …details how the FBI used 500 agents over 17 years to search for him.” Kaczynski was only caught after his brother read his manifesto and turned him in.
Since I’m sure the exhibit celebrates the crime-fighting years of G. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, perhaps they can borrow John Dillinger’s penis from the Smithsonian and add it to the exhibit’s 200 artifacts.
