Intelligence Expert and Former FBI Agent Joins ACLU As National Security Counsel | American Civil Liberties Union: WASHINGTON - The American Civil Liberties Union Washington Legislative Office appointed Michael German as Policy Counsel on National Security, Immigration and Privacy. A former FBI agent, German brings extensive national security and intelligence experience as well as a lifelong dedication to civil liberties.
"We are pleased to have Michael German’s experience as an FBI Agent on our team at a time when our freedoms are under attack," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office. "At a time when it’s hard to tell the difference between the morning paper and a George Orwell novel, the ACLU will benefit from the wise counsel of Michael German, with his front-line perspective on national security."
German is a sixteen-year veteran of the FBI, where he served as a Special Agent in domestic terrorism, bank fraud and public corruption investigations. While at the FBI, German also served in undercover operations, successfully helping to prevent several terrorist attacks. He resigned in 2004 to make Congress and the public aware of the continuing deficiencies in FBI counterterrorism operations after the implementation of the 9/11 Commission’s reforms.
