Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the coordination efforts involved in foreign counterintelligence investigations where the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has been or may be employed. The act established (1) requirements and a process for seeking electronic surveillance and physical search authority in national security investigations seeking foreign intelligence and counterintelligence information within the United States and (2) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which has jurisdiction to hear applications for and grant orders approving Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act surveillance and searches. GAO found that coordination between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Criminal Division has been limited in those foreign counterintelligence cases in which criminal activity is indicated and surveillance and searches have been, or may be, employed. A key factor inhibiting this coordination is the concern over how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court or another federal court might rule on the primary purpose of the surveillance or search in light of such coordination. In addition, the FBI and the Criminal Division differ on the interpretations of DOJ's 1995 procedures concerning counterintelligence investigations. In January 2000, the Attorney General issued additional procedures to address these coordination concerns. These procedures, among other things, required the FBI to submit case summaries to the Criminal Division and established a protocol for briefing Criminal Division officials about those investigations. In addition, the FBI established two mechanisms to ensure compliance with the Attorney General's 1995 procedures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the threat of terrorism from radical Islamic groups developed, the FBI had both law enforce. and intell. respon. in response to the threat. And it had different tools to use depending on whether its invest. was an intell. matter or a criminal matter. For criminal matters the FBI could use traditional criminal warrants. For intell. matters it could apply to a special court for warrants pursuant to the FIS Act of 1978. This law governs electronic surveillance and physical searches of foreign powers and their agents within the U.S. This divergence in purposes for the respective types of invest. led to info. sharing barriers being erected between the invest. This paper describes the history and development of the various barriers and their impact on the 9/11 story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acts of terrorist violence and foreign espionage may pose a serious threat to the security of the United States; yet recent disclosures demonstrate the great risk in giving an agency such as the FBI unlimited authority for gathering intelligence about terrorists and spies. Taking into account the findings and recommendations of the post-Watergate inquiries into FBI operations, John Elliff analyzes the legal and policy questions posed by a "security police" in a nation committed to constitutional government and the rule of law. The author draws on his experience both as principal consultant for the Police Foundation's research on FBI intelligence operations and as head of the Church committee's congressional staff task force on domestic intelligence. He examines the changes made in the structure and policy framework for FBI intelligence operations, including issues not fully resolved by reorganization and new guidelines. He also covers the standards and procedures for dealing with misconduct by FBI personnel. Dr. Elliff concludes that the present restrictions on FBI activities are necessary and that close supervision and control by the Attorney General will allow the Bureau to operate effectively without depriving law-abiding persons of their privacy or their freedom.

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of September 11 2001, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) embarked on a program to reform its intelligence and national security programs. Many experts agree the FBI has made progress in some areas (dissemination of raw intelligence), but some believe that the FBI has shown little progress in other areas (establishing an integrated and proactive intelligence program) while the FBI's budget increased by 68 per cent from 2001-2005. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission has recommended, and the White House has approved, the establishment of a National Security Service within the FBI. This Service would integrate the FBI's Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence Division with the FBI's Directorate of Intelligence (DI). Whether this organisational change will yield substantive results is an open question. This book analyses the FBI's overall intelligence reform effort, focusing on the implementation of intelligence reform initiatives in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COINTELPRO. An acronym for Counterintelligence Program, this is the code name the FBI gave to the secret operations aimed at five major social and political protest groups--the Communist party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Ku Klux Klan, black nationalist hate groups, and the New Left movement. Spying on America, the first book to chronicle all five of the operations, tells the story of how the FBI, from 1956 until COINTELPRO's exposure in 1971, expanded its domestic surveillance programs and increasingly employed questionable, even unlawful, methods in an effort to disrupt what amounts to virtually our entire social and political protest movement. Violations of citizens' constitutional rights were rampant, and the secret operations actually resulted in a number of deaths. At the time, neither the public nor the news media knew anything about COINTELPRO. In vivid detail, Spying on America demonstrates that the system of checks and balances designed to prevent such occurrences was simply not functioning--until an illegal act uncovered the secret activities. The book opens with the daring raid of a Media, Pennsylvania FBI office by a group that adeptly used its booty--about 1,000 classified documents--to make COINTELPRO operations public. The burglars, who called themselves the Citizen's Commission to Investigate the FBI, used sophisticated methods (the FBI never caught up with them), releasing copies of incriminating documents to the media at carefully timed intervals. Spying on America draws on newspaper and magazine articles, interviews with many of the people involved, and FBI memos to trace the historical beginnings and operating methods of COINTELPRO efforts against each of the five targeted groups. In vivid detail, the author re-creates the reactions of the bureau--including the subsequent policy changes--as well as the response of the news media and the resulting shift in public attitudes toward the FBI. Finally, Davis looks at the possibility of similar operations in the future. In the context of our current, heightened state of socio-political awareness, it is difficult to comprehend how so many unlawful deeds could have been committed without the public's knowledge. Spying on America makes us aware of how easily such activities can occur--and in doing so, helps us prevent them from happening again.

Edgar Hoover, The Secrets of the FBI presents headline-making disclosures about the most important figures and events of our time.

This book was released on 2012-08-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FBI has a long history and established culture as the pre-eminent law enforcement agency in the world. Beginning in the late 1930s, the FBI assumed responsibility for espionage and domestic intelligence investigations. Abuses of domestic intelligence investigations in the 1950s and 1960s led to the Church Committee hearings of the 1970s. Those hearings showed the FBI had abused its investigative powers, and several senior FBI officials were indicted. Subsequently, intelligence investigations and programs were avoided by most FBI personnel, and the intelligence program was unable to detect and prevent the 9/11 attacks. Following 9/11, the FBI sought to transform itself into an effective domestic intelligence agency by implementing a series of bureaucratic programs and policies. Eight years later, the Fort Hood attack, and the subsequent Congressional report, indicated the FBI's transformation needed to be accelerated. Had the concept of design been available to FBI Intelligence Program leaders and applied to the problem, the need to deal with the FBI's law enforcement culture concurrently with establishment of bureaucratic policies and procedures would have been apparent. By applying design to the Intelligence Program, a need for post-9/11 cultural transformation becomes clear. As the world becomes both more complex and interconnected, the FBI needs to adapt and evolve to meet new challenges. By developing and applying its own design concept, the FBI can avoid the transformational problems of the past ten years in the future. The FBI will continue to be faced with complex, ill-structured problems, and can benefit by establishing a design process to apply to those problems. Can design be applied to complex, ill-structured problems within the bureaucracy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)? Should the FBI develop a design methodology to enable the organization to more quickly adapt to emerging problems? The FBI has traditionally used a bureaucratic approach to solving problems, but an increasingly complex and interconnected society requires agility and flexibility. Developed since the mid-1990s by the Israelis, and now modified into Army doctrine, “Design is a methodology of applying critical and creative thinking to understand, visualize and describe complex, ill structured problems and develop approaches to solve them.” Design is an approach which considers the environment, problem and solution as a connected web in which a change to one area affects the others. The commander leads and encourages discourse toward the development of a narrative which explains the logic of the environment and becomes the basis of the operation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has added several new divisions and directorates since September 11, 2001, each to address a complex, ill-structured problem. For example, prior to September 11, the FBI had no Security Division, Intelligence Directorate, or Records Management Division. Each was established in response to a problem exposed in a significant negative event, the arrest of FBI agent/Soviet spy Robert Hanssen, the intelligence failures of 9/11, and the failure to provide investigative records to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh during his judicial process. The issues exposed by these events were deeply rooted in FBI culture and history, factors which a design process can identify and engage. Could the FBI benefit from the application of the Army's doctrinal design process? Using FBI history and a variety of government reports to provide a basis for FBI culture and the need for transformation, this paper will apply design to the FBI's Intelligence Program as it existed on September 12, 2001 to demonstrate the potential for design and the need for FBI development and application of a design methodology.
