CHICAGO -- The Justice Department ordered the FBI to reinstate a Chicago anti-terrorism agent who had faced possible dismissal for accusing the bureau of not doing enough to prevent the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The FBI had suspended and was trying to fire agent Robert G. Wright Jr. for alleged insubordination, unprofessional conduct and talking to the media without bureau approval.
Wright declined to discuss the circumstances of his reinstatement but said: "I look forward to going back to my squad. I look forward to doing my job."
Wright held a news conference in 2003 during which he referred to the FBI's international terrorism unit as a "complete joke."
