FBI - Director Mueller's Era

DUH, as it should be.

"During FBI's Mueller Era, 9/11 Elevated Priority of Intelligence and Prevention" PBS Newshour 8/1/2013

Excerpt

RAY SUAREZ (Newshour):  Mueller led the agency for 12 years, starting just one week before the 9/11 attacks.  Today, Attorney General Eric Holder said Mueller has transformed the bureau since then, and prevented a number of serious terror plots.

The outgoing director, in turn, gave much of the credit to those he's worked with.

ROBERT MUELLER, FBI Director:  It has been my privilege to work with so many talented and dedicated public servants, men and women who give everything in their power to keep the American people safe, men and women for whom the rule of law is the guiding principle.

RAY SUAREZ:  For an examination of the Mueller era at the Bureau, we turn to former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who worked closely with Mueller during George W. Bush's administration, and Julian Zelizer.  He's a Princeton University professor of history and public affairs, and is the author of a book on the politics of national security.
