DOJ Seeks Information From FBI Whistleblower
Washington, D.C. November 13, 2008. According to a report from the Washington Times,
a leading FBI whistleblower has direct knowledge that illegal
activities occurred in the highly controversial and top secret National
Security Agency's domestic surveillance program. The whistleblower,
Supervisory Special Agent Bassem Youssef, is the highest ranking Arab
American agent employed in the FBI's counterterrorism division. His
earlier concerns, that top FBI terrorism managers lacked expertise and
experience in terrorism matters, were documented in a highly
controversial deposition in which the former head of the FBI's Middle
Eastern counterterrorsim program testified that he did not know the
difference between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims. Washington Times Article
