FBI slammed for fighting 9/11 reforms
From Pam Benson and Kevin Bohn
CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) --
The former members of the 9/11 commission slammed the FBI on Thursday
for the pace of its reforms, saying the agency has fought the changes
more than expected and warning that "terrorists will not wait."
The criticism came in a report by the former commission, now called
the 9/11 Public Discourse Project, released Thursday in Washington.
"Reforms are at risk from inertia and complacency," said former
commission Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton.
If the pace of reform is "not accelerated," he said, Congress will
have to consider "other alternatives," a veiled reference to removing
the FBI's intelligence function.
The report faulted the FBI for continued deficiencies in its
analytical capabilities and information sharing with other agencies,
as well as its failure to improve information technology.
The bureau was also cited for too much turnover in its workforce.
Former commission Chairman Thomas Kean complimented FBI Director
Robert Mueller for setting the right priorities, but said there was
"much more resistance than anticipated" from the rest of the bureau.

That's their nice way of telling you that without their powers, they might
not be able to stop a nuclear attack...against YOU.
They figure you're too dumb to realize the threat, and wouldn't react
properly, so they speak in generalities more suited for your level of
intellect.

There's nothing to remove. Nothing functional. Nothing the FBI has done
suggests they are the place for such a function.
The report faulted the FBI for continued deficiencies in its
analytical capabilities and information sharing with other agencies,
as well as its failure to improve information technology.
The bureau was also cited for too much turnover in its workforce.
