said he should take the fbi job but i said were you ever approached by the fbi and interviewed by them, background check and tell them that? he said no, i never talked to the fbi. so, one of my points of the book is much like the event of september 11th, bob hanssen was a failure of intelligence gathering. he shouldn't have been hired by the fbi in my view. after he was hired by the fbi to the rate of 1976, he was sent to gary indiana right near chicago about 30, 40 miles outside, but because he had that nba, they certainly had more important things in mind for him, and they sent him to new york to the new york field office where he lived in scarsdale new york. when he lived in scarsdale he paid $34,000 for it and his -- scarsdale was known as a pretty rich the area of new york with his mother-in-law told me we always refer to that house has been in the slums of scarsdale if there is such a thing. when he bought that house, the person he bought it from was a dentist like he, so he went to dinner and told the dentist he had a swiss bank account. here was this guy making 30, 35 balls and

i realize it was dictated by your customer, the fbi. but from a public interest in. , with a k -- public-interest standpoint, would there have been a case for either enlarging the panel with other expertise, but in some way trying to review the entire investigation as opposed to just the science? >> i think that one should strongly consider putting together a panel that would be able to do every few such as you recommend. -- a review such as you recommended. for the sheer magnitude of the work, just to review the scientific side of this investigation, an opportunity to provide a really in depth look at how scientists perform in the context of a national re- emergence sea and in the context of -- national emergency and in the contents of the many experts being worked with across the country. i believe we provide an excellent service to the community in taking a look at how that is done, and being able to prepare in the event of a future attack. i do think and i am a member of the committee on science, technology, and locked at the academ

let me now turn to the fbi's role. the fbi under director muller made significant progress in transforming itself into america's lead counter terrorism organization. in this case, unfortunately, the fbi had the opportunity to take actions that would have prevented the fort hood murders and failed to do so. the terrorism task force in san diego flagged the initial communications with the suspected terrorist that i referred to for review and transferred the communications to the fbi's joint terrorism task force here in washington because he was located here at walter reed. t21 >> he was radicalizing the extremism in a way that could well lead to an attack and to some, the fbi conducted a superficial inquiry and ended it prematurely. san diego's joint terrorism task force was upset with the way the washington task force handled the case, but they too dropped the matter. fbi headquarters specifically the national joint terrorism task force and counterterrorism task force never got involved in the investigation, although th

gary nestler had left the fbi and he was on a case for these three americans. what he found was that at the time, post-9/11 there was actually no desire by anyone in the government to negotiate. and this infuriated him. so our book tells the story going forward in trying to push to get the guys out, at this time time there is a prosecutor kim kohl who has bound and determined to convict this colombian guerrilla for kidnapping the american hostages. so we also realized that none of this would be in play without something our country has been doing for 40 years which is fighting a war against an herb, the cocaine plant and spending billions and billions of dollars militarily to fight drugs. that has been our relationship with colombia. and so to explore that, we wanted to tell a fascinating story so we have all of these characters but at the same time show how the u.s. has really failed miserably, cause so much violence that has come out of this and we continue down the same path. so that became a really important part of the book and why we wrote it. thanks. >>

as former fbi agent i'm especially interested in the efforts of the fbi to build an intelligence service within a law enforcement agency and better adapted year old culture and practices through a rapidly evolving threat of terrorism. the fbi has made progress since 9/11 and has become much more intelligence driven. but as the fort hood tragedy illustrates we must accelerate the pace of the progress and are looking forward to providing you the assistance to do just that. al qaeda has increased the use of westerners and americans to entry our defenses. of assault with a fort hood tragedy, the threat is further complicated by acts of violence by homegrown and self radicalized american militants. we depend on the fbi's unique role to address these complex and growing threat. on the budget. our nation is invested heavily in our intelligence capabilities since 9/11 and intelligence budget has grown exponentially in that time. there's no doubt in my mind that we have to reach an understanding about the return on investment in terms of real improvement to our security. history is littered with

the fbi collected the material to him reflect 1029 that was housed. in september of 2008, the fbi asked the national academy of sciences to convene the committee to conduct independent review of the scientific approaches used during the anthrax investigations. in july of 2009, we brought together a dedicated group of talented experts to begin work on the report you see today. our committee members were experts in biology, medicine, physical chemistry, statistics, biochemistry, public health, environmental studies, forensic science and jurisprudence. in the course of the two-year study the fbi provided us with approximately 9600 pages of materials. with the least of the report, all of these materials are now available to the public. over the past 19 months the committee focused its efforts on the review and consideration of these materials along with presentation by the fbi and the doj and scientists whose work informed the investigations. despite the repeated request throughout the study for all relevant material, in november of 2010, the fbi identifi

that was determined by the fbi during the investigation. silicon was there we think perhaps due to natural processes. do we need to invoke the possibility of additional silicon? it is hard to comment upon that. there was one sample where there was a discrepancy between the amount of silicon in the individual sports and the overall bulk silicon content. there was that one sample. we did not find a compelling explanation for that discrepancy. as for the particle size, the work that was sponsored by the fbi found that there was a bimodal distribution of particle sizes. there were particles in the range you have described but there were also larger particles. we have no further information on how one might generate that particular bimodal distribution and whether it projects other procedures or not. >> at that size, it is not surprising to have the small particles spores easily dispersed into air and ending up everywhere. it hinges on that small particle size. >> good afternoon. this is our home for nearly 100 years, we are honored to have as o

that led the fbi to this lubbock, texas, apartment building. and the 20-year-old saudi-born student, who officials say is a classic lone wolf jihadist. secret searches of aldawsari's apartment revealed evidence of a nearly complete bomb plot, possibly targeting dams. former soldiers who spent time at the abu ghraib prison in iraq. the dallas home of former president george w. bush, and locations in new york. the searches turned up wiring, chemical flasks and a clock, all bought from amazon.com. a hazmat suit purchased on ebay. plus 30 liters of nitric acid, and three gallons of sulfuric acid. nitric acid and sulfuric acid, when combined with phenol, can produce a powerful explosive called tnp. but aldawsari never got that last ingredient, phenol. the fbi also found more evidence detailing his apparent terrorist aspirations. on his blog last march, aldawsari wrote in arabic, only gratification from allah is what i want. grant me martyrdom for your sake and make jihad easy for me. in a private journal he wrote, after mastering the english languag

it was the fbi is investigating. the president will make a decision about how to proceed. i would periodically get asked a question what is going on with the assassination attempt? i would give the guidance in exactly those words. on friday i was going through my briefing with the deputy for national security and he said nothing has changed. the president will look at the results when they come from the fbi. i got asked a question. and announced to me the president received the information they did before. he decided iraq was responsible for the assassination attempt and the united states would retaliate by bombing day agency in baghdad on saturday. i did not know it. then i realized i have now given them that guidance. i realized in hindsight what i should have said was when the president receives information from the fbi he will make a decision. but i did not. i think it is an example of how you have to think five moves ahead of all the time because it is not only about what is happening today, but the future. i learned to do that much better. >> some things people don't

host: the fbi does not have software to get around that? caller: it is my belief that these agents and people connected with the bush administration and homeland security were just too darn lazy and that is why they came up with this, to make everybody else do the work. unfunded mandate. we've got to comply. and, no, we are not. protecting the tradition -- the tradition of our reader privacy goes back to our very first national librarian, and that was benjamin franklin. and we are going to protect the privacy and the right to read of our patrons about everything. that is our job. host: norman mentioned that president obama is in support of extending these provisions in the patriot act. a little bit more from "the washington post." administration -- for an extension until 2013. the longer time line provides necessary certainty and predictability that law enforcement requires, while at the same time ensuring congress can continue to review the law that think effectiveness. three competing time lines. among them -- shreveport, louisiana. mike,
