they would have to go to the fbi. over the past 10 years, many arab-americans have been subject to intense and unwarranted scrutiny -- scrutiny by such organizations, like the fbi and others. it has not only been the fbi. people have been alienated from civic participation. [tone] sfpd should recall what john crew mentioned, the expos pay. >> your time is up. sorry. >> yesterday we shredded the bill of rights. today by being part of the jttf, is treading it's part of the bill of rights. i call on your good conscience for you to urge the board of supervisors -- >> sir? thank you. next speaker, please. >> the evening. i am the student national vice president for the guild and the national lawyers guild here in san francisco. i want to thank you for holding this hearing. i feel like this entire thing is about local control and transparency. i think there was a number of perceptive questions from commissioners regarding the bureau order and the local patrol issue. i think what needs to be really clear, as far as i underst

there have been questions about the fbi's present. it is my understanding, just so everyone knows, the fbi was invited to participate in today's hearing, and they declined. that goes to the question of trust and openness. if they are not willing to have these conversations in the open, the way they are in portland, the question comes to people's minds is, what are they hiding? why can't we have these discussions with them? that is that issue. in my line of work, i represent dozens of clients who have been visited by the fbi. what i usually share some examples of what we see. they highlight the reason for openness, accountability and trust. there's a reason we need these things. some of the things we have seen with the fbi in the last year and a half is people being questioned on their views about osama bin laden. their question about the uprisings in the middle east, whether or not they know rebels in libya, tunisia, and egypt. african community members are questioned about the uprising in egypt and other parts of the middle east. we

retired fbi agent swearinger. >> i was with the fbi for over 25 years. it was the only time i was never able to find wiretap logs. so it tells me that someone, i don't know, i could guess, but someone destroyed two week's worth of wiretap logs to establish that pratt did not call la from san francisco. >> reporter: shortly after the murder, police artists put together these composite sketches of the killers. pratt's defense team didn't know until after he was convicted that kenneth olson had identified other men as the killers prior to pratt's arrest. >> they didn't give me any of the critical evidence by we we could have won the case. we almost won the case. >> reporter: in 1979 olson positively identified this man robert perkins. the problem was he was in jail at the time caroline was murdered. he never saw pratt in a lineup because the police never put him in a lineup. he identified pratt's mug shot from an array of pictures. the lapd led kenneth olson into iding pratt. >> mr. olson was convinced by the lapd that it was elmer pratt who did the murder.

to explain these protocols within 30 days of that change in fbi command. we will continue to work with the fbi and hrc to engage in dialog regarding our members' roles and responsibilities and are receptive to this particular unit bureau order. we are happy to amend it further. as far as to night came, i wanted there to be something that was a standing protocol in place moving forward that i could represent to this body. president mazzucco: thank you, chief. the tone is that most of the concerns we heard regarding whether or not the memorandum of understanding from 2003 was different from the most recent one, about what trumps, whether our officers' orders supersede what the fbi said, we have now made that clear. our officers follow our department general orders. we follow our san francisco values. the chief gets a lot of credit, as does captain mahoney, who worked diligently to make sure that most of these questions have been answered before tonight's hearing. i want to thank them for their hard work and think the chief for making quick, good decisions. t

the fbi black-bag jobs of palestinian offices across the country. you had the pow hostages coming home from vietnam. it was a troubling time in america, and you can look back and sigh, why wasn't this solved then? the only fbi agent said, fred, we had so many lead that -- on so many different cases and we had zero able to really do a lot of any of them and do it well, and they certainly were not prepared to handle this kind of case. but i think for anybody that's a student of terrorism, the current events resonate today, what's going on in middle east, with the topic of the book in 1973, because there hasn't been lot of changes since that time period, and certainly israel is doing the best they can to protect themselves during this time period. >> can you tell us about his brown and -- background and why he was, a., interesting, and, b., worth killing from the point of view of certain bad people? who was this man? >> the colonel as a child hoff the holocaust. his family had been killed by the nazis, and he had fled check slovakia to israel, and i th

and information got to the fbi and the fbi investigated it appropriately. and responded appropriately. that's what we want. so i think that's the building blocks. >> and mike, from a government perspective during your time with the fbi internally, how a priority is building trust? >> -- how high is a priority in building trust? >> i never thought about it since i live. i can't think of a single time in 31 years in the fbi that i solved the case on my own. i can't think of a single other agent who would say anything other than that. and if you're old enough, most of you remember the downside of that it made death by look like a disney on its own. and nothing could be further from the truth. it's one of the reasons i really like the joint task force concept. but my standard routine and, and it didn't really very much at all when i went looking for an open, any community can weather was working drugs are violent crime or counter intelligence or counterterrorism was not not not, i'm with the fbi and i need your help. every time. slam the door in my face, fine,

are long gone from the fbi. there's been a complete change in personnel over the years, so it's good to get this over with, and let's go forward from here. >> how about you? you were involved in the case. this provide you with a sense of closure? >> it does. i knew that phone call that i got at 1:20 a.m. this morning was coming someday, and you know, i was surprised that i was not more ecstatic about it. i just thought it was inevitable. >> this fbi psa released a few days ago which led to this arrest do you think the fbi was working on a tip that they knew they may be close so let's put this out there and see if we can get some ground? >> i tend to think that's not the case. i tend to think that if they had some inkling that he was in santa monica as he and catherine greig were in santa monica i don't think they would have gone to the effort to create that campaign, that whole psa thing. i tend to believe, it's like any of those crime shows like "america's most wanted" you put out a tip like that or put out inf

pierre, why did it take the fbi 16 years? >> reporter: diane, here at the federal courthouse in boston, they had been hoping to bring bulger to justice for years chls but it was difficult, because he was a master of disguise. the fbi's man hunt was both national and international and it was futile. with possible is sightings in mexico, canada and europe. in 2007, the fbi obtained this video of a man who resembled bulger strolling in italy. they were never certain it was him. >> we pursued him literally across the face of the earth. >> reporter: at one point, the fbi was so desperate for tips, they released this audio of his voice. >> how are you doing? did he order any sandwiches? >> reporter: over time, the case grew cold. but the turning point was when they decided to target his girlfriend. catherine greig had breast implants and plastic surgery. so, they advertised in plastic surgery news and she was constantly in beauty shops. so, they came up with a plan to target women who may have seen her. this week, they launched an

the fbi put him on the most wanted list. tips came in from all over the world, alaska, poland, hong kong. agents thought they found him four years ago. but they turned out to be tourists from germany. the fbi ramped up its efforts, with a huge display in times square. >> a violent temper and charged with 19 murders. >> reporter: james whitey bulger and his companion were arrested in santa monica. catherine heenan, kron 4 news. >> we have a picture of james whitey bulger from when he was a prisoner, this from the late 1950s. during a search they found $800,000 in cash. 30 fire arms, several pieces of false identification. he will be returned to massachusetts to face charges. >>> fog is not going to be as extensive as originally thought. the winds are suppressing it. so we aren't seeing fog but it will bump up tomorrow morning. clearing by the afternoon. sunny skies. temperatures on the cooler side. mainly in the 60s and 70s. let's look at fog tracker tomorrow. 6:00 fog, patchy fog pushing into the east bay. also the peninsula

it's because he corrupted the fbi here. their spectacular unsuccess in finding him drove the idea that they weren't serious in their intent or energy to find him. some thought they were protecting him. a lot of cynicism. they finally got their man, but it's been a long, long run. >> this is unbelievable. you brought up one of the key parts here. he was an fbi informant in addition to being a gangster and along the way he started working the ties very much to his advantage. talk to me about that. >> well, this is what makes him much, much different than most mafia bosses. it also makes the treachery intense. his big career move was to understand that if he helped the fbi take out the italian faction, the mafia which was the national directive to take it out that he would put out of business his rivals. in return, he got from the fbi protection. it was both legal and illegal protection. he corrupted the bureau. basically bulger would like to say that he turned the federal bureau of investigation into the bulger bureau of inve

the fbi perhaps didn't go after him hard enough. the fbi has said that's not the case. they did say, as you mentioned, he wore disguises, he traveled around the country and he was a master criminal. what's interesting here is when they changed their tactics and didn't go after him, they went after his girlfriend and that's when he was caught. >> appreciate that. >>> the government decides to tap the stroo teejic oil reserve because of supply problems. we'll look at what it means for gas prices. a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say. and more. if you replace 3 tablespoons of sugar a day with splenda® you'll save 100 calories a day. that could help you los

it was an interesting approach by the fbi. that public service announcement that they started in 11 states on tuesday focused on her. they were hoping that women would recognize her because they know that she often went to beauty salons. so they aired those ads during the daytime hours and were hoping that maybe some sort of person would recognize her. not sure who called in the tip but perhaps that was the reason why. >> may never know. kendis gibson in l.a., thank you. >>> a federal grand jury is now hearing testimony in an east bay police corruption case. attorneys for the disgraced officers say the grand jury began hearing evidence a few weeks ago. meantime, norman wielsch, christopher butler, stephen tanabe and louis lombardi pleaded not guilty to charges brought by local prosecutors. they face 38 criminal counts including conspiring to sell stolen drug evidence. in an unusual twist, the lawyers say there are actually glad the fbi took over the case to avoid possible conflicts of interest with local authorities. but they
