What's up with the FBI? The CIA welcomes the additional manpower from its CIA alumni. Why can't the FBI?

the sea change came about the day Vince Foster committed suicide, William Sessions retired (resigned?), and Louis Freeh took over as the head of the FBI....part of the Clinton legacy.

the fbi does not want anyone of the old school nonclintonista types around.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Exactly. The new regime might not be able to fully control the old (ethical) guys.

Well, our nation certainly can use all the help available to us in this war.

??Do the Al Qaeda Networks own/control all of the Airport Security Firms at U.S.A. airports?? The 'spin' is the term, 'international' ownership, rather than the true and clear reality that it's 'foreign' ownership!! ??How can American security be totally CONTROLLED/OWNED by FOREIGN OWNED companies?? This truth is being 'buried' by the airports, press, and government. Just who OWNS American Airport Security?? Names please!! Details please!! Why this whole coverup?? FBI-CIA-NSA-.....and, "DIA"......fess up!!

Here's an example:

Firm Ran Security at OK Bomb Site - Part 6

We need info on the airport security agency too. Evidenlty, someone on this forum knows how to look up this info.

Moreover, many FBI agents complain that because of the controversy surrounding the discovery of records prior to the execution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, their supervisors now demand they record even the most arcane tips and leads. That takes valuable time away from pursuing potentially substantive leads, agents say.

Recording all tips and 'arcane' leads is different from pursuing them.

I found this article very enlightening; thanks for posting it.

Did you do the original research on the security agency for OKC?

I found this article very enlightening; thanks for posting it.

Hi Fred Mertz,

My pleasure.

And, I agree with you, as I too found it enlightening. Also, I was surprised that other media reported nothing on this topic.

Sincerely,
