FBI Director Robert Mueller said Wednesday that political correctness played no role in the bureau’s review of counterterrorism training material that resulted in some papers that were biased against Muslims being removed from circulation.
“I can say absolutely and with certainty that political correctness played no role in the efforts we/I undertook to make sure that we give the best training to our personnel. It does us no good to have personnel who are trained with inadequate materials or misguided materials,” Mueller said in response to a question from Rep. Howard Cobel (R-NC).
“Political correctness had nothing to do with it, it was the appropriate thing to do and it was done because we want the best possible training for our personnel,” Mueller said.
