Will The New FBI Guidelines Help Prevent Terrorism_ The Justice Department recently changed its investigative guidelines to grant the FBI extensive new powers . Under these guidelines, FBI agents can now:
- Monitor public meetings, churches, synagogues, mosques, and libraries in search of suspicious activity (much as they did before J. Edgar Hoover's political and personal abuses of such activities were uncovered).
- Surf the Internet looking for suspicious sites or discussions without this activity being related to any ongoing investigation.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said these changes were needed to combat terrorism, and that the FBI had been "frustrated" by earlier rules.
Interestingly, the changes were made to the agency's guidelines for investigating domestic organizations, not international organizations. They apply not only to terrorist activity, but to drugs, white-collar crimes, domestic political crimes, illegal animal-rights activism, and other areas.
