For years agents were barred from searching open sources, such as the Internet, without first opening a formal investigation. Agents had a deeply ingrained habit of keeping information to themselves and filing paper reports. There was no computer network permitting broad searches for terms like Arabs and flight schools. The FBI's greasy pole was tilted, leaning away from counterterrorism work and toward the traditional pursuit of such crimes as Mob activity, kidnapping and white...
