ANOTHER FREDO FAILURE

The GAO recently found, "COMBATING TERRORISM : Law Enforcement Agencies Lack Directives to Assist Foreign Nations to Identify, Disrupt, and Prosecute Terrorists," that our law enforcement agencies (LEAs),with one exception, have done a poor job overseas. The GAO found that:

...because most LEAs, with the exception of the FBI, have not been given clear guidance, they lacked clearly defined roles and responsibilities on helping foreign nations identify, disrupt, and prosecute terrorists. In one country we visited, the lack of clear roles and responsibilities between two U.S. LEAs may have compromised several joint operations intended to identify and disrupt potential terrorist activities, according to the U.S. and foreign nation LEAs. In addition, we found LEAs generally lacked guidance on using resources to assist foreign nations in addressing terrorist vulnerabilities and
generally lacked performance monitoring systems and formal structures for sharing information and collaborating.

This is another example of why the GOP is weak, not strong, on defense and I wish the Democrats would start shouting these facts from the rooftops.
