WASHINGTON — FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III has appointed former FBI director William Webster to conduct an independent review of the agency’s policies and actions prior to mass shootings at Fort Hood on Nov. 5.
The FBI said in a press release Tuesday that a preliminary review had been completed and “Webster will now lead an independent, outside effort that will look both at the initial findings and allow for additional review as he and his staff determine.”
“As a former FBI director, director of central intelligence, and federal judge, Judge Webster is uniquely qualified to undertake this task and look at the procedures and actions involved in this matter,” Mueller said in a prepared statement. “He, in the past, has led independent reviews of various FBI systems and broader policies and provided valuable recommendations. In this case, Judge Webster will have complete access and whatever resources necessary to complete the task.”
Webster was FBI director from 1978 to 1987.
