Press Response to Bellows Report
Clearly our investigation
should have included the technical discrepancies of the
two nuclear weapons analyses. In 1997, because the investigation
was stalled, Freeh was focused on preventing even greater
damage to the weapons program and was fully engaged in helping
the Department of Energy establish a more rigorous counterintelligence
effort. As Bellows found, the inaccurate predicate we received
caused us to improperly narrow our focus. We adopted Bellow's
recommendations and made other fundamental changes to avoid
being in this position in the future..
