"For nearly every one of the 95 years it has been in existence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been all about investigating crimes, catching bad guys, and putting them behind bars. Crime prevention had never been at the core of the FBI's mandate. But when Mueller walked into the Oval Office three days after New York's twin towers fell, all that changed." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article discusses how FBI Director Robert Mueller's mandate represents "the most sweeping structural and philosophical shift in the FBI's history. In a series of exclusive interviews with U.S. News, Mueller and his top aides detailed the steps they have begun to take. The changes, they say, mean transforming an investigative agency into an intelligence-gathering service and re-orienting virtually everything about the FBI's institutional culture and its traditional operating procedures."
