So what do People want, FREEDOM OR PROTECTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT, from Terrorists, White Collar crimes, Serial Killers, Rapists, Child Molesters, Drug Dealers, Alcoholics, etc..

How the hell is the government supposed to protect people if everyone is complaining about it right and left, it's ridiculous.

So do yeall want to live safely or do yeall want to be surprised by terrorist attacks, killers, rapists etc....... which is it?? The second the government does not protect the community everyone raises hell....

The FBI is one of the most criminal organizations in the United States; an organization that has never had the legislative charter needed in which to legally operate in the United States, in spite of its claim that it exists by an act of Congress.

Between its COINTELPRO activities, and its total disregard for the U.S. Media, the FBI has remained a threat to the United States Constitution and the American people's inherent rights to privacy and due process of law.

In short, this 10 billion dollar a year insult to the American people should be abolished, and the Billions spent on its criminal operations used to rebuilt the American middle class through the creation of new jobs.

Great Interview. I have never heard more information from

a sitting FBI director before. Thanks 100 times. Mike

The biggest crime against humanity, without a gun, is the financial pillaging by our own home grown Wall St. criminals.

So where were the FBI during all this? Were they complicit? How do you fleece the world without a pre-crime 'pass' - a wink-wink, a collusion by the SEC, the OCC and the FBI.

We are obviously not a nation of laws as advertised. If we were the 19 largest bank's (stress-tested) CEOs would doubtless be incarcerated under the crimes against humanity and the moral hazard provisions under the laws-of-nature. Redemption through damnation.

I wonder if my opinion may be really common and simple.

I think about my self that it's quite juvenile one .

However,I would like to say that of course, I know,cyber technology helps FBI investigation,..... on the other hand it makes the cases of crime complicated.

I can understand how important the predictions of not only criminal's

activities,but also...can I say their brain activities?....I mean tendencies of crime methods.

but also their thinking ways ,can I say ...brain activity?....

Anyone who has talked to law enforcement personnel, can readily see through the scripted and trite responses to Mr. Rose's questions. There are obvious differences between Bush and Obama, which the interviewee avoided pertaining to how we protect US citizens., differences which Obama mentioned during his 2 year campaign for office. Charlie should have insisted on straight answers. I would have asked him about wire taps, the need for warrants, the use of specific techniques to gain information (water-boarding), and our reaching out to the Muslim world to obtain their "love and friendship". (As if we haven't fought

for years to rid several Muslim counties of their insurgents, Taliban, Serbian atrocities, etc.).

I agree with the prior comment that remaining in Iraq and

Afghanistan is the best recruitment tool for Muslim fighters (to fight US), and negates any money we give to these dysfuntional countries.

I would have asked him about Iran's boast of 40,000 suicide bombers ready to strike at US interests, and clandestine Hamas and Hezbollah cells in our country (see New York City's plan to thwart any attack with their special units).

All in all, I expected more, yet, frankly, wasn't surprised

at hearing typical government jargon; stiff, stilted and

conveying nothing but passages out of a (FBI) manual.

Too predictable down to reinforcing the Af-Pak conflict. Merely another bureaucrat mouthing the scripted orthodoxy. Naive (of me) to WANT something brave - OUTSIDE-the-proverbial box. Too silly - even if he felt otherwise - he has a job to keep.

Obama and his attempted rapprochement with Islam is totally subverted as long as we're in Af-Pak.
