 The American Civil Liberties Union has urged local law enforcement officials in Florida and Massachusetts to open investigations into how an FBI agent killed a man who was being interrogated in his Orlando apartment about the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
In letters to the attorney general of Massachusetts and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the ACLU said the public had little faith in the FBI's ability to investigate itself. The letters cited a recent article by The New York Times, which said that from 1993 to 2011, the FBI deemed its agents' use of force justified in the 150 instances in which an FBI agent fatally shot or wounded someone.

The sober posture and commentary by Walker and Vennochi are not only refreshing. They should serve as a model for everyone concerned with getting to the bottom of how and why incidents like the Marathon bombing happen in the first place.
