		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The notion that cases involving drug trafficking, marriage fraud and other things are unrelated to terrorism is simply naive and legalistic. Any of these crimes can (an perhaps have been) used to further terrorist activities in this country.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think the IG report got that right actually.  Under the &quot;Innocent until proven guilty&quot; philosophy, your case is not &quot;terrorism related&quot; unless you are charged with something &quot;terrorism related&quot;.  Sure someone trafficking drugs can also be involved in terrorism activities, but that is not a required relationship, so being charged with drug trafficking doesn&#039;t make your case terrorism related, you need more than that.  

It&#039;s like writing someone a speeding ticket, and then incrementing your count of vehicular homicide preventions, is misrepresentation.</description>
