FBI FAILURES
Reader comment on article: The FBI Fumbles [on Gamal Abdel-Hafiz]

Submitted by Don Canham (United States), Mar 15, 2003 at 01:27

I would like to write to the head of the FBI, Mr. Mueller and voice my feelings about the handling of Mr. Abdel-Hafiz. How can anyone in such a high place as Mr. Mueller condone these practices. In my opinion Mr. Hafiz should have been brought up on department charges for failure to adhere to a sworn duty. i.e. information on a known or suspected enemy of the United States. Since when did we take such an oath with stipulations?

Secondly, the officer in charge of Mr. Hafiz should be brought up on the carpet and charged with not following procedures to investigate one of his own men. Then there is the granting of a raise in position and the title and salary which go with it. How can that be tolerated? How can that be condoned? Who is running the FBI? Who's "minding the store"??

The United States is involved with a global enterprise and it must have the faith of the authorities that are doing all the jobs that were sworn to, not wondering who is going to be politically correct.

Please take the time to advise me to make a statement that will not be passed off as "another jerk who doesn't know what he is talking about."
