Federal Bureau of Investigation
The testimony of two prosecution witnesses, in particular, has brought renewed and unwelcome attention to how the Federal Bureau of Investigation dealt with early warning signs. The two witnesses testified that if he had told the truth on Aug. 16, 2001, the bureau could have moved swiftly to foil the plot. One problem for the bureau is that the backbone of the prosecution case, that the bureau could have disrupted the plot had Zacarias Moussaoui admitted all he knew, represents a substantial revision of conventional wisdom at the law enforcement agency.
