He references the FBI becoming an intelligence unit. I had to reference this for spouseanon, same topic. It's important.

Report Credits F.B.I. With Progress Since 9/11, but Says More Is Needed

WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. has made great strides since the Sept. 11 attacks but urgently needs to improve its intelligence capabilities, hire more linguists and elevate the stature of its analysts to counter the rapidly evolving threats to the United States, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The report by the F.B.I. 9/11 Review Commission said the bureau had prevented catastrophic terrorist attacks but needed to improve its ability to collect information from people and to efficiently analyze it, contending that the bureau lags “behind marked advances in law enforcement capabilities.”
“This imbalance needs urgently to be addressed to meet growing and increasingly complex national security threats, from adaptive and increasingly tech-savvy terrorists, more brazen computer hackers and more technically capable, global cyber syndicates,” the report said.
The 2004 report of the national Sept. 11 Commission and subsequent reviews called for major changes to the F.B.I., but the report released Wednesday was far less critical. Rather than a rebuke, it amounts to a status-check on the F.B.I. transformation that began in 2001.
Today’s bureau bears little resemblance to that organization, and some of the areas cited for improvement are markedly better than they were years ago. For instance, the 2004 report said that two-thirds of the bureau’s analysts were qualified to perform their jobs. The latest report, by contrast, said, “The training and professional status of analysts has improved in recent years.”
And while the report said the F.B.I. needed more translators, it was much less critical of the bureau’s foreign language ability than previous reports were.
