John S. Pistole is a senior member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[1] In October 2004 Pistole was appointed the FBI's Deputy Director, its second in command.
On August 23, 2004 Pistole testified before Congress about changes the FBI made in response to the 9/11 Commission.[2]
Pistole and Valerie E. Caproni were the two FBI officials who approved a memo laying out the FBI's policy on the limits to the interrogation of captives taken during the United States' war on terror.[3] The memo was from the FBI's General Counsel, to all offices, explaining that FBI officials were not allowed to engage in coercive interrogations; FBI officials were not allowed to sit in on coercive interrogations conducted by third parties; FBI officials were required to immediately report any instances of suspected coercive interrogation up the FBI chain of command.
