Report Details Dozens of FBI Firings

WASHINGTON - An internal FBI (news - web sites) report kept under wraps for three years details dozens of cases of agents fired for egregious misconduct and crimes, including drug trafficking, attempted murder, theft, misuse of informants and consorting with prostitutes.

The report, released Wednesday by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, found that about one in 1,000 agents was dismissed for serious misconduct or criminal offenses by the FBI during the period examined, from 1986 to 1999. The average was between eight and nine per year.

Although the numbers were small, the FBI's attempts to prevent the report's disclosure from the public and Congress since its completion in June 2000 is raising questions among FBI critics about an attempt to avoid embarrassment.

3. The report covers the Reagan through Clinton years

. . .and we can only imagine, in the post-911 era of hypersecurity, what abuses are now being committed and even more effectively covered up.
