Follow up to January 7, 2009 posting, Bush Administration Releases Highlights of Accomplishments and Results, the next report in what appears to be a series, The Accomplishments of the U.S. Department of Justice, 2001-2009
“Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Department made combating terrorism its top priority. This shift required a significant revision to the Departments structures, polices and procedures and a substantial investment of resources. Most significant were the creation of a separate National Security Division and the FBIs efforts to transform itself from primarily a law enforcement agency into a law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency. In 2006 the Department set up the National Security Division, a new component tasked with leading the Departments efforts to combat terrorism. As part of that reorganization, the Department launched an extensive effort to prosecute threats to national security as soon as the law, evidence and circumstances permitted. In addition, between Fiscal Year 2001 and FY 2008, the FBIs budget roughly doubled, allowing for large increases in the number of intelligence analysts and language analysts, and increasing the use of special initiatives such as Joint Terrorism Task Forces.”
