FBI director admits to lapse before Marathon bombing
Boston Globe-29 minutes ago
“Even if [procedures] had been fixed prior to the Boston bombing, I do ... the Boston Marathon bombing would not have occurred,” Cohen said.

FBI Dictator Robert Mueller has been a prostitute for bother father George Herbert Walker Bush and for his son in serious war crimes and international terrorism from Central America to the Middle East.

1. George W. Bush recently appointed Elliot Abrams to the National Security Council. Abrams was one of the convicted Iran-Contra conspirators pardoned by his father shortly before leaving office. ("Iran-Contra Figure Back at White House"; New York Times; 6/30/2001; p. A4.)
2. Bush also recently selected Robert Mueller, a member of his father's Justice Department, to be FBI director. ("S.F. Prosecutor Mueller Picked to Lead FBI, Mend Its Image" by Zachary Coile and Bob Egelko; San Francisco Chronicle; 7/6/2001; pp. A1-A12.)
3. In his work for the Bush Justice Department, Mueller was less than vigorous in his role overseeing the prosecution of General Noriega of Panama and the BCCI case. ("In the Running for FBI Director" by Stacy Finz; San Francisco Chronicle; 7/1/2001; pp. A1-A6.) Both the BCCI case and the Noriega case overlap the Iran-Contra investigation and the elder Bush was principally involved in the Iran-Contra imbroglio. Full disclosure concerning the BCCI case could lead to investigation of James R. Bath, the Texas business representative of the Bin Laden family and one of the financiers of George W.'s first oil venture. Bin Laden's forces have formally taken credit for bombing the U.S.S. Cole during the campaign. ("Islamic Militants Brag They Bombed Warship Cole" by Diana Elias [AP]; San Francisco Chronicle; 6/20/2001; p. A8.) It is believable that the Cole bombing was executed for the benefit of the Bush campaign.

Perils of the Patriot Act
I voted against the USA Patriot Act, which despite its nice name was written in such a sweeping way that it opened the door for the NSA to invade the privacy of millions of Americans. That is because the USA Patriot Act’s Section 215 allows the FBI to seek the production of “tangible things” to obtain foreign intelligence and to protect against clandestine intelligence activities.
But because the statute does not require that either the caller or recipient of the call be a foreign agent or located abroad, you can see how the FBI could be tempted to collect broad swaths of data concerning Americans’ telephone calls to detect patterns of activity, as many analysts suggest may have happened in this case.
That is why on June 6, I joined several of my House colleagues in sending a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller and NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander requesting more information concerning their agencies’ data collection activities......- Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho)

An Unheeded Warning on Iraq War
A decade ago, with neocons at the policy controls, the U.S. government was hell-bent on invading Iraq and few Washington power figures were brave enough to get in the way. A direct appeal to FBI Director Robert Mueller was one example of a warning falling on deaf ears, as ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley recalls.By Coleen Rowley
Ten years ago, I made the ultimately futile effort of writing to FBI Director Robert Mueller warning that he needed to tell the truth about the Bush administration’s unjustified decision to preemptively invade Iraq and the likelihood it would prove counterproductive.
To its credit, the Minneapolis Star Tribune ran the story on March 6, 2003 (“Agent: War would unleash terror, and FBI not ready”), one of only a handful of such cautionary news stories in the war-fevered weeks before the United States launched its catastrophic invasion. (The New York Times also ran an articleabout the letter.)
FBI Director Robert Mueller.
My letter compared Bush-Cheney’s rush to war with the impatience and bravado that had led to the FBI’s disastrous 1993 assault at Waco, where “the children [the FBI] sought to liberate all died when [David] Koresh and his followers set fires.”
On a much more tragic scale, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were killed and millions more were wounded or displaced. Iraq’s infrastructure was destroyed. Severe problems remain with lack of clean drinking water, electricity and a lack of professionals in Iraq to help rebuild.
Even worse, the flames of sectarian hatred were ignited, based on religious and ethnic differences, leading to violent civil strife, ethnic cleansing and terror bombings. Those fires continue to burn. Instead of bringing democracy, it was violence and war that spilled over to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
U.S. national interests were also hurt by the recklessly launched war for regime change when Iraq’s new leadership aligned with Iran. What’s more, the looser “preemptive strike” rationale did migrate back home. Provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act now purport to authorize the indefinite, due process-free detention of American citizens.
The Obama administration’s “white paper” on drone bombing policy claims that an “informed official” can, without any judicial process, place U.S. citizens on a “kill list” and otherwise act as judge, jury and executioner on “the global battlefield.”
More laxity in law enforcement’s use of deadly force has even come to pass. The shooting meltdown engaged in by the panic-stricken Los Angeles Police Department in response to the “war” launched by Navy Reservist and Iraq veteran Christopher Dorner is just one example. Veterans increasingly bring the war home, suffering high rates of suicides and homicides.
This blowback is a scary proposition considering that domestic terrorists Timothy McVeigh, John Muhammad (the “Beltway sniper”) and Robert Flores (who shot three nursing professors and then himself) were all products of Gulf War I.
No matter how comforting it may be to believe that it’s possible to preempt terrorism or other violent crime, “Minority Report” ability is nothing but fiction. Preemptive prosecutions, roundups for indefinite detention, preemptive drone strikes and preemptive wars are essentially characterized by lack of adequate factual justification.
No one should be surprised that no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. None of the hundreds of immigrants detained after 9 / 11 were ever connected to terrorism; a large percentage of those imprisoned at Guantanamo (for whom bounties were paid) were later cleared, and researchers have found that only 2 percent of those killed by drone bombing are actually high-level Al-Qaida terrorists.
As a result, Iraq and other post-9 / 11 wars and war-crime abuses have only increased hatred of the United States, spawned new anti-American terrorist groups and served as a recruiting tool for existing ones. Recent polls show that more than 75 percent of Pakistanis view the United States as their enemy. Analysts estimate that during three years of drone bombing in Yemen, the Al-Qaida-inspired group there has grown from about 200 to more than 1,000.
But as Voltaire said, “it’s dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.” I don’t blame Mueller for maintaining a low profile. The Cassandra role is a thankless one, and Mueller probably would not have been held over the prescribed 10-year term for an FBI director if he weren’t adept at going along to get along.
I do wonder, however, if he hasn’t felt, most of these last years, like the “helpless bystander” I suggested he could become. Is that how the other little cogs feel, too, as their out-of-control, destructive war machine grinds on? [For more, see Consortiumnews.com’s “The US Press Sell-Out on Iraq War.”]
Coleen Rowley, a former FBI special agent and legal counsel in the Minneapolis field office, wrote a “whistleblower” memo in May 2002 and testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee about some of the FBI’s pre-9 / 11 failures. She retired in 2004 and is now a writer and speaker. [This article first appeared in the Star Tribune, http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/194400981.html?refer=y]
