By Matthew Levitt

Earlier this month, the Department of Justice published the revised Attorney General Guidelines (AGG), which govern all FBI activities. This includes FBI activity involving international terrorism. The revised AGG, which will come into effect in early December 2008, will consolidate procedures controlling the FBI's various investigative programs.

Michael Rolince, a senior associate at Booz Allen Hamilton and a former FBI agent, argues in this piece that the revision of the AGG is a necessary and pivotal step for the FBI's counterterrorism investigations.
