JOD: "Sorry, Charlie"
The JOD's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released a report on the treatment of the 762 immigrants who were detained in the post-Sept 11 terrorism investigation. Among other problems, the review finds that "even in the chaotic aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the FBI should have expended more effort attempting to distinguish between aliens who it actually suspected of having a connection to terrorism from those aliens who, while possibly guilty of violating federal immigration law, had no connection to terrorism but simply were encountered in connection with a PENTTBOM lead."
No heads are rolling. Instead, "the OIG offers 21 recommendations dealing with issues such as the need to develop uniform arrest and detainee classification policies, methods to improve information sharing among federal agencies on detainee issues, improving the FBI clearance process, clarifying procedures for processing detainee cases, revising BOP procedures for confining aliens arrested on immigration charges who are suspected of having ties to terrorism, and improving oversight of detainees housed in contract facilities."
oig, oig!
