FBI DIRECTOR
LOUIS J. FREEH TODAY ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
"We are
very disappointed that the court concluded that further
fact finding is necessary, especially given the prior court
decisions in favor of Agent Horiuchi.
"We have
the utmost respect for the process, however, and will continue
to support Agent Horiuchi and his family as this litigation
continues.
"As so often
happens in law enforcement, split-second life and death
decisions must be made by those sworn to enforce the law.
We continue to believe strongly Agent Horiuchi met the legal
standard that protects law enforcement officers when they
carry out their sworn duties, even when the consequence
in hindsight is regrettable."
