Two emails from the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG)'s Behavioral Assessment Unit (BAU) regarding a two-day BAU workshop November 5 and 6, 2003 re: interviewing extremists. First email indicates that the workshop is to take place at the Days Inn just south of the FBI Academy. "Participants include FBI agents and field supervisors, HQ personnel, JTTF members, linguists, analysts, DOD personnel and other members from the intelligence community. The workshop will be conducted at the Secret level in CIRG space." The email indicates that "Although we are primarily concerned with Muslim extremists, those of you with exposure to other groups will undoubtedly have much to offer." First email states "Previous BAU initiatives have focused on examining the behavioral traits of serial murders, sexual sadists, rapists, arsonists, child abductors and school shooters." It also indicates that "An expected outcome of this workshop is to incorporate your observations and insights into a comprehensive, experience-based guide for field agents and members of JTTFs. We are discussing the possibility of having both a classified and unclassified version, the latter of which could be shared with local police." The email includes a list of possible topics for panel discussions during the workshop; these are redacted.
The second email confirms that 35 individuals from the field will be participating along with various other personnel. The first day of the workshop will consist of six panel discussion. The second day will commence with two additional panel discussions, followed by an afternoon breakout session to address "additional topics."
