      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.
