"There is such a jaundiced feelings about any promises or commitments from any Republican leaders," he said in a phone interview. "You could almost cut the anger and the frustration with a knife in that room it's so strong. Because they don't know what else to do, they're talking third party." A spokesman for the Republican National Committee did not respond to a request for comment. The participants were in Salt Lake City for a separate meeting of the secretive Council for National Policy, a group of conservative business, religious and political leaders that was years ago by Tim LaHaye, author of the "Left Behind" series of books. Vice President Dick Cheney flew into the city Friday to ad- dress the group, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Christian conservatives, who hold considerable sway in the Republican Party, have been deeply unhappy about the field of GOP presidential candidates. Dobson has said he wouldn't support Rudy Giuliani, calling the former New York mayor an "unapologetic supporter of abortion on demand." Dobson has also rejected former Tennessee Sea Fred Thompson as wrong on social issues, and wouldn't back John McCain because of the Arizona senator's opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-se- x marriage: Viguerie said conservatives "are still open" to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, but said, "we haven't seen anything that guarantees that we will hold to the positions that he's articulating." Romney has been questioned about his record on gay rights. However, the proposal to canconsider a third-part- y didate comes from anger that the Republicans whom Christians have helped elect for decades have failed to act on policy issues important to evangelicals on abortion, marriage and school prayer. "Conservatives have been treated like a mistress as long as any of us can remember," Viguerie said. "They'll have lots of private meetings with us, tell us how much they appreciate it and how much they value us, but if you see me on the street please don't speak with me." A third-part- y run would be a long shot, requiring millions of dollars and challenges to ballot access. Such a bid could prove disastrous for the GOP by splitting the vote.

Fine said the FBI did not view Aragoncillo as a potential problem until the agency received a call from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in March 2005. ICE agents reported that Aragoncillo improperly was attempting to intercede in the case of his friend Aquino, who had been arrested for overstaying his visa. The FBI began an investigation but, even then, it tooli security officials three months to make the connection with an earlier report about suspected computer misuse. An analyst walking past Aragoncillo's cubicle in November 2004 had noticed that he was conducting a search using such words as "Philippines" and "corruption" even though he was supposed to be working on terrorism cases. The analyst reported his concerns to an internal security officer at the time, but the report was not taken seriously. "It seems like we dropped the ball on this in a big way," the chief of the FBI technology center where Aragoncillo worked said at one point, ac cording to the inspector gener al s report.
