Zalmai Azmi
I have a friend who has been in the Information Technology industry for over 20 years.
She was shocked when she learned that a new FBI computer program designed to help agents share information to ward off terrorist attacks may have to be scrapped
The news is that the agency has concluded it needs to be scrapped but further investigation makes it clear that is a decision being made and forced on the users by the new Chief Intelligence Officer of the FBI Zalmai Azmi.
The actions of Zalmai Azmi are causing a further delay in a four-year, half-billion-dollar overhaul of the FBI and its antiquated computer system.
Again the news is that the bureau is so convinced that the software, known as Virtual Case File, will not work as planned that it has taken steps to begin soliciting proposals from outside contractors for new software, but the fact is that this decision and the confusion and idiocy springing from it are owned entirely and exclusively by Zalmai Azmi .
When will public officials in the United States government become aware that terrorism need not be an explosion to be effective?
Effective terrorism or an effective attack on our nation can be quietly carried out by a traitor in a sensitive position who is either incompetent, greedy or aggressive against the United States – as appears to be the case of Zalmai Azmi.
Many of the Senators overseeing this process are allowing themselves to be bamboozled by a smooth talking bureaucrat who is pushing to have hundreds of millions of dollars thrown away while initiating new contracts with a contract of his personal choice for further hundreds of millions of dollars.
Just because Zalmai Azmi claims loyalty to the United States and has possibly served in the United States Marine Corps does not mean that he has the best interests of this nation at heart.
I do not believe we have the best person for the job of Chief Intelligence Officer for the FBI. The fact that he served for the US Attorneys Offices only further leads me to conclude that something needs to be done about Zalmai Azmi and giving him more money and power are not wise.

1. This seemingly racist crap should be deleted...
Claiming that Zalmai Azmi is a "traitor" or a "terrorist" simply because of his name and race is abhorrent and in fact slanderous. I have alerted this post (my first time ever).

You should take this racist bullshit to Free Republic, where I am sure they will welcome you with open arms.

2. You made a typo
"Effective terrorism or an effective attack on our nation can be quietly carried out by a traitor in a sensitive position who is either incompetent, greedy or aggressive against the United States – as appears to be the case of Dubya."
