Richard Jewell has died at age 44.
He was a security guard at the Atlanta Olympics. His actions saved dozens of lives when Eric Rudolph planted a bomb there. And for that, in their haste to nail somebody, anybody, for the crime, the FBI tried to frame Jewell for the bombing. The news media followed right along.
The Jewell Fiasco should be kept in mind whenever you see or read an announcement by the FBI concerning arrests for high-profile charges, including terrorism charges.
And if you think the FBI learned anything from the Jewell Fiasco, then look into what happened with Dr. al-Hazmi or Brandon Mayfield.
