Abstract
This paper outlines many problems within the FBI such as withholding pertinent information that may have prevented the September 11 attacks. The author points out that these problems are not new. The paper discusses the new corrective program introduced by the FBI head, Robert Mueller, that needs to be enforced and accepted by the FBI culture.

From the Paper
"Another problem that has haunted the FBI in recent months is the discovery that veteran agent Robert Hanssen was a Russian spy for twenty-five years. The FBI was scrutinized because they did not possess a serious attitude regarding internal security issues, and the lack of a cohesive management structure indicates that departments were not aware of each others activities. In response to the Hanssen scandal, Congress approved the creation of a new position within the Justice Department to oversee the activities of the FBI."

Abstract
This paper examines how, since the 9/11 incidents, information systems security has been a primary concern by all organizations as a result of the consequences that resulted in the loss of data and information in the ensuing attacks. It discusses the information systems security strategies of two federal agencies: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It looks at how these two distinct agencies are opposites in term of their mandates; one is the premier law enforcement and security agency of the nation that already has a hard core security function as its mission while the other one sets the standards in various aspects of technology and business processes.

From the Paper
"The FBI is the premier federal law enforcement and criminal investigative body of the United States. It is under the Department of Justice (DOJ) and has as its mission: "To protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners." Its current director, Robert S. Mueller III, literally went through a "baptism of fire" because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He was recently sworn in a week before the attacks (September 4, 2001) thus not having the luxury of a "honeymoon period" in the agency. In fiscal year 2006, the total budget of the FBI was approximately $5.7 billion, including $495 million in program increases to enhance counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber crime, information technology, security, forensics, training, and criminal programs ."

Abstract
The San Francisco division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lists five major crimes that have increased due to technology advancement across the globe. These crimes include identity theft, child pornography, high technology crimes, industrial espionage and computer intrusion of the nation's "critical information, military and economic infrastructures" ("Technology", n.d.). Because of the continued advancements in computer technology the growth in the number of people that have access to information that can negatively impact those within the social order, as well as the foundation of information that supports the operation of businesses and the nation is evident. Therefore, individuals within criminal investigative departments and law enforcement have been tasked with developing methods of addressing these types of crime and ensuring that cyberspace is a safe environment for all who use it.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in recent years, in part due to the terrorist attacks of 9-11, there has been much talk of moving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from its current positioning within the Department of Justice to a new position within the Department of Homeland Security. The writer discusses that although the FBI and Department of Homeland Security can certain work well together in a number of ways, the current positioning of the FBI as a branch of the Department of Justice is the correct one. The writer argues that by examining the duties of both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and comparing and contrasting the results, one can see that moving this organization would be a mistake.

From the Paper
"Fuel is added to the fire of this problem in two ways if the FBI is moved to the Department of Homeland Security. First, the FBI is now providing the check and balance system the Department of Homeland Security needs in order to be investigated when civil liberties are violated. With the FBI as a part of this organization, there is a potential for it to become a superpower within the government. The second way this adds to the problem is that the FBI would also come under this umbrella of abusing civil liberties."

Abstract
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began with a force of special agents which was created by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte. Theodore Roosevelt and Bonaparte agreed that efficiency and expertise should determine the correct people to serve in government. This philosophy was known as progressivism. The paper shows that in 1908, Bonaparte applied the progressive metaphysics to the Department of Justice by creating a corps of special agents. It had neither a name nor an officially designated leader other than the Attorney General. Yet, these former detectives and Secret Service men were the founding fathers of the FBI. The paper explores the history of the FBI until modern times.

From the Paper
"Freeh began his tenure with a clearly vocalized agenda that would respond both to growing and deeper crime problems and to a new era of government downsizing. In his oath of office speech he called for new levels of cooperation among law enforcement agencies, both at home and abroad, and he announced his intention to restructure the FBI in order to maximize its operational response to crime."

Abstract
This paper discusses employment opportunities with several US Government agencies, focusing on the eligibility requirements of each department. Specifically, the paper examines how one would get work at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or the National Security Agency. The role of each agency is described in detail and a description of the sort of candidates they hire is also presented. This includes the educational background of acceptable applicants. The paper also explains where job opportunities in Federal agencies are posted. Additionally, the paper addresses drawbacks in the hiring process at these agencies, such as the extremely long duration of background checks especially in the FBI and the shortage of analysts to fill positions. The paper concludes by suggesting shortening the lengthy hiring process in order to attract more talented applicants.

From the Paper
"The Central Intelligence Agency is entrusted with the immense responsibility of protecting the national security of America. Therefore, it is with good reason that the recruitment process is extremely stringent and interns and other candidates hoping to work with the CIA are asked to take a polygraph test. Most of the CIA jobs are related to the intelligence cycle. This involves acquiring raw or crude data, converting it into intelligence, analysis of the information and dissemination to the appropriate departments. The internship program available at CIA can be applied for both by college juniors and seniors, especially those belonging to the handicapped or minority category. Minority and nonminority students from the first or second year of undergraduate studies can apply for the Graduate Studies Program."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the FBI uses DNA information in its national database CODIS to prove both the guilt and innocence of those it investigates. It further argues that data is sometimes collected simply because someone fits the profile of people the bureau wants to catch.

From the Paper
"In the United States of America we take great pride in our representative democratic federal government. The people have the power to change the way our government works by electing representatives that will act differently than those presently in power and by challenging government actions in court. This takes time, however, and until we have the chance to get new officials in Washington we are at the mercy of those we have elected. Furthermore the government's bureaucracy on which we..."

Abstract
The paper relates that the bombings of the World Trade Towers brought the conflict between the FBI and CIA to the surface. The paper looks at the two government agencies associated with gathering intelligence on activities that might threaten US lives and interests. The paper examines the conflict between the two agencies in terms of how it effects the current and future situation of the war on terrorism. The paper shows how the two agencies are set up for two entirely different purposes, but maintains that they must still be able to communicate and talk civilly together.

From the Paper
"The differences between the CIA and FBI stem from their original set up at their inception. They were initially set up for different functions, and only recently has the need to work closely stood in their way to perform their individual jobs. The key to the problem is communication between the two groups. One must delve into the origins of the two groups to understand these differences fully."
"The Central Intelligence Agency began in 1947 as a completely separate entity from the FBI. Interactions between the two groups have even been hostile at times (Gorman, 2007). Both groups share the goal of protecting the United States from hostile attacks, but they each had their own way of handling situations and developed a type of territorial attitude in order to avoid stepping on one another's efforts (Gorman, 2007). This attitude made it difficult for them to work as a team."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, from 1978-1980, the Federal Bureau of Investigations conducted a sting operation known as Abscam, which resulted in the criminal convictions of politicians in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as a Senator and six members of the House. The paper contends that Abscam was one of the ugliest chapters in modern political history, destroying the careers and reputations of political figures at the local, state and federal levels. In particular, the paper looks at how one political figure who managed to emerge from the scandal relatively unscathed is John Murtha, who is now one of the longest-serving members of Congress. The paper also discusses how historians, political scientists, social commentators and criminologists have long debated whether Murtha should have been more aggressively pursued by the House and by the federal Justice Department.

Outline:
Murtha's Role in Abscam
House Ethics
Criminal Laws Broken?
Conclusion

From the Paper
"From Murtha's perspective, he was exonerated. He has long declared his innocence, rightly pointing out that he never accepted a bribe during the meeting (Hannity and Colmes, 2006). Washington Post reporter Jack Anderson, who covered Abscam for the paper, offers a back-handed defense of Murtha, saying he played "perhaps the saddest scene on the secret Abscam videotapes. ... He refused to take the money, but his reason was hardly noble (Murtha: 'I expect,' 2006)." Indeed, one could argue that Murtha's reasons did not have to be noble. In the end, he did not take a bribe and arguably did not deserve to be as aggressively prosecuted as his colleagues, who accepted money."
