Sen. McCain's campaign today accused Sen. Obama of 'perfect manifestation of September 10th mindset' and of 'taking a law-enforcement approach to terrorism'. This comes 28 days after an FBI counter-terrorism agent told the House Judiciary Committee that under President Bush, the Bureau had hired and appointed counter-terrorism supervisors with little or no experience in anything but domestic crime, and had a rule: rotating out all counter-terrorism specialists once they had reached five years' experience. In short, Agent Bassem Youssef had said, under a Republican administration, the FBI was, in effect, taking a law-enforcement approach to terrorism. [71] [72]
