“Standards and procedures, checklists and questionnaires, automated workflows, training modules, and after-the-fact audits are all important, but they cannot be allowed to substitute for a strong FBI culture of individual ownership and responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of FISA applications,”

Wow, you must have to work in government for a long time to be able to produce wordy, but utterly useless crap like this. “Culture of individual ownership and responsibility”?! It is the culture that created individuals who think they “own” the government and think they are “responsible” for “stopping” someone they don’t like (because he threatens their self-serving bureaucratic hegemony), that is the problem.

I think the best way to inculcate that culture is prison time.
