I Think Around The World, Our Agents

Prior To The Passage Of The Patriot Act, It Was Very Difficult - Often Impossible - For Us To Share Information With The Central Intelligence Agency, With Nsa, With The Other Intelligence Agencies, And Likewise, For Them To Share Information With Us.

All I'm Going To Tell You Is Investigations, Whether It Be This And Others, Where You Have Partial Facts, Analysts, Agents Are Always Trying To Interpret What Those Facts Mean, Extrapolate From Them What They Mean.

And From The Moment That We Realized It Was A Terrorist Attack, There Isn't An Agent Or A Support Person In The Fbi That Wasn't Committed To Bringing To Justice Those Who Were Responsible For This.

I Would Say In Just About Every Investigation We Have, There Will Be Differences Of Opinion, Where You Have Partial Facts, As To What Those Facts Mean.

We Cannot Go Up On A Wire. We Cannot Do A Search Without A Judge On The Fisa Court Approving It And Determining That We Have Met The Standard That Has Been Set Forth By Congress In Order To Utilize These Techniques.
