Having worked with all of the Federal Agencies to a great extent, I can honestly say that the FBI is, without a doubt, NOT the pinnacle of Law Enforcement. In fact I have a hard time thinking of them as a true Law Enforcement agency at all.

It was also through the combined efforts of the FBI and NYPD that the perps involved in the WTC bombing were identified and arrested, prosecuted and convicted

- yep, that was a tough one.... especially since they were the same "perps" that murdered Rabbi Mier Khani in NY a short time before, were all interviewed, never left NY City, and then cranked off the VBIED inside the WTC. If I remember correctly it was the NYPD that wanted to look further into the murder and were told by said "pinnacle agency" - nope, only a lone gunman acting here...
Would a "pinnacle" Agency put out "Terrorist Alerts" for foreign Nationals - some of whom were in Federal custody already, identify an Egyptian Nationals shooting spree at the LA EL AL counter as a "work incident" for over a year - finally changing this to a terrorism act, misidentify an American lawers finger prints as being on a bag of blasting caps connected to the Madrid bombing, give back to a defendant his computer - still containing classified info for which he is being prosecuted?????? These a but of few of this "pinnacle agencies" stellar success stories of late.......... I'm sure a plethora of others can be brought up.
Look, I know some damn fine people that work for the FBI, but your organization as a whole is fast becoming irrelevant - and that is scary, not only to them but more importantly to me. I say your because you've identified yourself as law enforcement, and no "local" I know would ever make that "pinnacle" statement - it just seems to smack of NA arrogance. What the FBI could be, is, and what they think they are, are three vastly -and I mean night and day - different things.
I have more faith in what NY is doing today, as are other PD's - developing their own intel pool and sourcing from the ground up - in other countries as is seen fit.
Real time, actionable intel is the key to survival for us, and I for one am still waiting to see my first piece from said "pinnacle" agency.
