Senator Conroy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Remember way back when (January 2008) Senator Conroy's spokesperson was quoted:

Senator Conroy's spokeswoman said the blacklist would be expanded through liaison with the Australian Federal Police, and international agencies such as Interpol and the FBI.

Then, it was a little worrying that the super-conservative Federal Bureau of Investigation would presumably have some input into Conroy's expanded blacklist.

It became all the more worrying this month when the Bureau formally entered communication partnerships with the following faith-based organizations:

• Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, under the leadership of Dr. Tony Evans;

• The Potter's House in Dallas, Texas, under the leadership of Bishop T.D. Jakes;

• The First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, under the leadership of Pastor John Jenkins;

• The Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship in Decatur, Georgia, under the leadership of Bishop Paul Morton;

• Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church in Washington, D.C., under the leadership of Bishop Alfred Owens; and

• Ever Increasing Faith Ministries in Los Angeles, California, under the leadership of Dr. Fred Rice.
