The celebrated writer William Vollmann has revealed that the FBI once
thought he might be the Unabomber, the anthrax mailer and a terrorist
training with the Afghan mujahideen.

In the September issue of Harper’s magazine, Vollmann describes the
alarming and ludicrous contents of his 785-page secret government
file, 294 pages of which he obtained after suing the FBI and CIA under
the Freedom of Information Act. Spiked with sarcasm directed at what
he sees as the agencies’ arrogance, presumptuousness and ineptitude,
his Harper’s essay, “Life As a Terrorist,” is inflamed with moral
outrage at the systemic violation of his privacy. “I begin to see how
government haters are made,” he writes.
