It's always hilarious when any organization talks about how Bitcoin can be used for illicit activity.  The U.S. dollar is still the biggest medium of exchange for illicit activity on the globe and yet no one writes articles talking about the need to control it.

Actually it doesn't say that, "need to control it." 

It's more like directions on "how do we deal with this?"

Really?

Ever hear of a couple little organizations called The Federal Reserve and the Senate Committee on Finance? Or the MANY protocols affecting banks and money transfers? Such as the BS they used to snipe at Mt. Gox?

I think the writing on that is so ubiquitous that you filtered it out.
