IT-Auskenner als FBI Chef

Der neue FBI-Direktor kennt sich, wie Declan schreibt, im IT-
Bereich recht gut aus. Die Frage ist, wird er das Wissen zu noch
üblerer Demagogie gegen das Netz benützen, als die FBI-Chefs
davor?

WASHINGTON -- It turns out that Robert Mueller, President Bush's
pick to revive the FBI's ailing image, has plenty of experience
prosecuting computer crime.

This week Bush nominated Mueller, 56, to succeed Louis Freeh --
whose eight years as FBI director was marked by a series of
embarrassing scandals including the murders at Ruby Ridge, the
Robert Hanssen spy scandal and misplaced documents in the
Timothy McVeigh case.

Freeh was a lifelong East Coast fed. Born in Jersey City, New
Jersey, he graduated from Rutgers University in New Brunswick,
New Jersey, and won acclaim for his work against Sicilian
gangsters who used pizza parlors to sell illicit drugs.

Mueller, by contrast, is more West Coast.

He started his legal career at a San Francisco law firm in 1973,
worked in San Francisco as a federal prosecutor for six years and
is currently the U.S. Attorney for Northern California. Mueller has
also done stints in Boston and Washington, D.C.

"He really knows the crime issues in the (tech) industry," said
George Kennedy, the district attorney for Santa Clara County who
has worked with Mueller over the last three years. "He will be a
good man to have at the head of the FBI for those types of crimes."

After moving back to San Francisco in 1999, Mueller created the
Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property unit in San Jose.
