I decided this early on at Justice: if the traditional way was the most effective way of doing something, then we'd maintain it. But if it was not functioning at optimum levels, we would be doing the country a disservice by continuing to do things "like we've always done them."

Our priorities should be: recognizing the voice of God and responding to the voice of God.

An FBI agent ought to be able to surf the net and look for sites that instruct people how to make bombs.

I feel the best way to ensure Americans' freedom is to tighten restrictions on that freedom in any way possible. Only through wiretaps, illegal searches and seizures, unfettered government intrusion, a controlled media and a complete crackdown on free speech can we ensure the liberties of all people.

We are a nation called to defend freedom - a tradition that is not a grant of any government or document, but is an endowment from God.

Agents need to be free to pursue investigations in ways that they haven't. There have been restraints that a reformed FBI needs to make sure we don't impose.
