Citizen Reform Meeting — Feb. 25, 2008 (cont.)

Special Guest Michael Rolince

Citizen Reform was privileged to have as a guest speaker, Michael Rolince, at our February 25th meeting.  Michael is a neighbor and friend, who also is a renowned Counterrorism & Counterintelligence Expert currently consulting at Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. 

Michael is former FBI Special Agent with over 30 years experience. He is a recognized expert in counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations and operations.

Michael provided a fascinating review of past terrorist events.  In particular, he helped us appreciate how many incidents had occurred in the 1990’s prior to 9/11, which had led Al Q'aeda to presume we would be passive in the face of growing and more outrageous provocations; which, up until 9/11, we had failed to correctly perceive as acts of war.  His comments also created in us an appreciation, to a greater degree than ever, the heroic and phenomenal work done by the FBI to protect us.  He then took questions from those in attendance.
