(Washington: Kelli Arena) The reasons for a need to reorganize the FBI reviewed; details given about other "missed signals" before September 11, including the investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui and the "Phoenix memo" about Middle Eastern men training at flight schools. [FBI director Robert MUELLER - says we need the connection of dots and our analytical capability is not where it should be.] [Senator Arlen SPECTER - says there needs to be a change of attitude from a "culture of concealment."]

(Studio: Aaron Brown) Live interview held with The Village Voice Nat Hentoff about the FBI. [HENTOFF - says the thrust now is to make the FBI an intelligence gathering agency, which was also done in the 1950s, when the agency monitored and infiltrated groups; explains what the FBI is currently doing at bookstores; admits there are terrorist sleepers in the US, but do we give up liberty in exchange for security.]
