Our View: Next FBI chief has big shoes to fill

13. května 2011 v 3:29


Robert S. Mueller III took the reins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation one week before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Since then, he has overseen a remarkable transformation of the bureau - from a law enforcement agency tasked primarily with cracking crimes to one focused on preventing terrorism. Mueller and his crew deserve immense credit for helping to thwart further attacks,With the BBC streaming more than 50 hours of World Cup football to UK internet users, adidas forest hills 72 says it is poised to target businesses that break the rules even as threats of homegrown terrorism proliferated.I give my prada men shoes 2011 practically zero consideration.

Before Sept. 11, agents were measured primarily by the number of arrests and convictions. Mueller and his team refocused counterterrorism agents on learning their domain and threat environment by connecting with the businesses, individuals and community groups that could tip them off before a plot became operational. Use of advanced technology to gather and make sense of data also became essential. It was an aggressive, mission-changing goal for the bureau.

The results were not always pretty. The bureau came under withering and justified criticism in 2007 by the Justice Department s Office of Inspector General for abusive use of national security letters, which entitle agents in counterintelligence and counterterrorism probes to collect information without prior court approval, most often from Internet providers, financial institutions and telecommunications companies. In a report the following year, the inspector general praised Mueller and his team for moving assertively to fix the problems.

It was not the first time Mueller showed character under fire. In 2002, after learning of other agencies possible interrogation abuses at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Mueller ordered FBI agents to stay clear of such techniques. And in 2004, he joined other high-level law enforcement officials in threatening to resign if the administration failed to address legal problems with the terrorist surveillance program.
