The Man From Interpol

Ron Noble Tells Steve Kroft Agency Is Under-Funded

(CBS)  Interpol is one of the oldest, largest and most famous law enforcement agencies in the world. It has inspired two television series and played a role in countless novels and movies, its globe trotting agents hopping across international borders to snare fugitives, terrorists and spies. The only problem is most of what people think Interpol does is fiction. Its agents aren't allowed to make arrests, don't carry guns, and rarely leave the office.

As correspondent Steve Kroft explains, their real job is behind the scenes, collecting and disseminating information to law enforcement agencies all over the world, and until Ron Noble became the first American to ever run the global police organization, it played almost no role in fighting terrorism. Noble has been trying to change all that since the day he took over seven years ago, less than a year before Sept. 11th changed the world.

---

Asked if his phone rang off the hook after the 9/11 attacks, Noble tells Kroft, "The only call I got was from my brother to tell me to turn the television on just in time for me to see the second plane fly in to the building. And I promised myself, and I promised my staff that that would never happen again. It would never be that a terrorist attack would occur anywhere in the world and we wouldn't be called."

"Why did nobody call, do you think?" Kroft asks.

Says Noble, "We were irrelevant."

When he was nominated by President Clinton to become the first non-European secretary general of Interpol, Noble was one of the top law enforcement administrators in the U.S.: undersecretary of the Department of the Treasury, in charge of the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

He was ambitious, tireless and spoke four languages, the perfect choice to shake up what was considered a lethargic European bureaucracy, based in Lyon, France, a city known for famous chefs and some of the finest restaurants in the world. And walking through Lyon, it's easy to see why Interpol became known for long lunches and long weekends, not long days at the office.

"When you came here it had the reputation of sort of being a retirement home for police officers," Kroft remarks. "Was it open on the weekends?"

"It wasn't open on the weekends. And if you had a request for assistance at five o'clock on Friday, you'd have to wait until Monday morning for someone to respond to it," Noble recalls.

That has all changed. The lights at Interpol are on now around the clock, seven days a week. The international wanted posters, called "red notices," once sent out by third class mail to 186 countries, often took months to arrive. Now they leave Lyon in a matter of seconds on a secure Internet channel. And the Morse code tower, used into the 1980s, has been replaced by a state-of-the-art police communication system that allows countries instant access to a global database of fingerprints, mug shots, DNA samples and stolen travel documents.

Its mission is to give operational support to police departments around the world, by exchanging intelligence, tracking fugitives, and providing language and legal assistance in fighting crimes that cross international borders. Its staff is made up of police officers on loan from 58 different countries.

It's not glamorous work, but last year Interpol played a role in 4,500 arrests, including a war criminal from the former Yugoslavia and an al Qaeda terrorist connected to the Madrid train bombing.

Noble believes Interpol is capable of doing much more. "Al Qaeda has said they want to kill four million of us. So I'm asking myself, 'What do we need? What does it take?' What will it take for governments to say, 'You know what? Forget the past. If Interpol didn’t exist today, we’d invent it. How would we invent it? How creative would we be?'" he says.

Noble says the world has changed drastically over the past decade, and along with it the nature of international crime.

It used to be that if someone committed a crime in Chicago, they stayed in Chicago, or at least in the United States. Today, they can get on a plane and commit the same crime in a number of different countries before anyone even notices. In fact, they don't even have to get on a plane. Someone with a computer in Lagos, Nigeria, can drain a bank account in London without even leaving his house.

"The Internet is police-able. It's police-able in the classical sense of the word, and we should be doing that," says Mick Moran, a 15-year veteran of the Garda, the Irish national police.

Moran joined Interpol last year to investigate international sex crimes against children. He tries to identify the country where the actual crime is taking place and then he passes on the information to the appropriate jurisdiction for further investigation.

"People call them child pornography. But that's a bad thing to call them, because it's actually a picture of a crime scene. And as an investigator, I examine the crime scene," Moran says.

Moran says he is "looking for anything that might give me a clue as to what country this comes from."

"That's what cyber cops do," he says.

Asked if he is a cyber cop, Moran tells Kroft, "We're cyber cops, yeah. Without a doubt, we're cyber cops. And one of the most horrific cyber crimes … these sex abusers, they use the Internet … and they turn it into a shadow land."

What does he mean by shadow land?

"Shadow lands. It's the dark side of the Internet. Because the Internet, don't forget, and a lot of people forget this, the Internet simply reflects society. It simply reflects the world we live in," Moran says. "And that world has good and that world has evil."

Ron Noble is a good guy. I hear his name has been put before the presumed first female president to head the FBI. I think he would do better to get an endowed chair at NYU Law maybe in memorarium of JFK, Jr. and for get about it. The Democrats can afford to do that for him since the Republicans left him stranded with funding for Interpol.

[zootallures2]

Ah, oh... It''s Ramadan, are you going to bust some more people for giving money to Hizb''Allah, Hamas, or Iran?

Well, the law of giving Zakat is to give it to the leader of Islamic people. So, between God and the FBI who can''t seem to recognise a controlled demolition and magic cartoon planes....


It''s a tough choice. Ron looks like a nice guy, but I don''t think I want to burn for eternity for his incompetance!

[speakinup]

zootallures2 - well - you may not burn in eternity, but if we catch you, you may not like the now too much either.

[deflemm]

The reasons why Interpol does not receive all due cooperation from its member agencies are less political than that they are organizational. Police agencies tend to be protective of their objectives and information and insulate themselves, also at a national and local level. In the case of international cooperation, problems are augmented by the fact that many criminal problems nowadays are distinctly international in scope. I have explored some of these issues in my research (available from my website). Sincerely, Mathieu Deflem

[clockwoo00]

Kudos to Ron Noble. Just because no one wants to listen doesn''t mean he shouldn''t speak. There are still some of us left that still think criminals should be apprehended and punished-regardless of where they are in the world. Shame on the US if they do not support ANY and ALL type of investigation that might result in the prosecution of terrorists.
Whatever happened to the promise of "info-sharing" between agencies? I even question whether the agencies WITHIN the US even started communicating; so it really is not suprising that they wouldn''t communicate with Interpol. Private-sector funding should be solicited.

[rrodz1]

this man is a HERO in my eyes!! if his passion for defending our country bring tears to his eyes on nation no worlwide television "He is the defender of the good".... I bet there were terrorists shakin intheir shoes w/FEAR.. im PROUD OF HIS WORK W/ INTERPOL, take care good luck and god bless you Ron Noble.
Robertoi Rodriguez, Laredo Texas

[landho2]

When are we, as Americans, going to learn that we have to be more global in our thinking and understand that we can not insulate ourselves? This is ridiculous. I can not believe that we are giving peanuts to an agency that possibly could have helped us determine that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so this crazy war never would have begun. We never even asked them the question.
I am terribly afraid for my country when I find out that the basic things, which I believe are being taken care of, are not important and the people in our government are not smart enough to take care of business. This has nothing to do with politics...or at least it shouldn''t

[moxhamjay]

Interpol and Ron Noble, should came to the American public a pled there case or situation.

Let us know, the people who pay the taxes, that our government who so freely feels that they can chooses where they want our money it to go. The American public needs to start demanding what and where our money goes! We need to start making our Government realize how we feel and where we feel what needs to be protected.
We are no better off today than we were on September 11!

Who doesn''t hate that our children are getting killed for a war that some of our politicians believe we should be in. Yes, they convince the young and others that we need to fight the war on there land, what a joke! We need to fight the terrorist the way they are fight with us. Smarten up American and listen to what really needs to done.

[jasimpson54]

how do we donate to interpol?

[mysdod]

Are you kidding me? Are you telling me that there are American''s that want a global police force:

+ that is NOT answerable to elected representatives?

that is NOT restricted by the CONTROLS set forth in the US Constitution?

I can''t think of a faster path to totalitarianism that this?

Don''t buy the emotional of a good television act, and THINK thru the consequences of this proposal, for it is NOT in your best interests.

The Man from Intrpol is right --- If anyone is intrested in how to fight terrorism, & how Bush & Company is fuelling al Qaeda,,, This is an article you might want to read. From the Oxford Research Group.

[glaswolf]

One must remember, we are a primary target in this war on terror. The paltry contributions of other nations calls into question their countervaling interests to our evolution. We are currently being sacked for technology and methodology. Manufacturing systems are transferred overseas under the guise of commercialism. Capitalism is enhancing distribution systems, small margins lead to large profits by accumulation. Capitalism is contrary to "what the market can bear" known in 1966 as Bazar economics of Commercialism, a characteristic which leads to dysfunction and loss of skills ... as we see in our inner cities where black production forces once thrived. Participating in Interpol provides an access to information which can be turned against us as a nation. They are a threat to our sovereignty. Those who want to go global, should leave the two American continents. He''s too emotional to represent the USA and should be fired.

[j-whitman]

glaswolf,,,, I''ll totally agree with you on commercialism & capitalism --- But terrorism is indeed a global threat, especially for Great Britian, & other european & undeveloped countries ---- It cannot be defeated with military actions, not by a long shot ----- It takes intellegence sharing, & solid police work.

A report by the Oxford Research Group (ORG) said a "fundamental re-think is required" if the global terrorist network is to be rendered ineffective.

The Man from Interpoll- After listening to this segment, the US continues to embarrass me in the international community. We are so arrogant. The US should be very active in Interpoll. One man won''t do it. Ask the director how many he feels is appropriate and then fund the effort.

[risc_taker]

If there is any way to get a thank-you to this man, please do so. Mr. Noble''s reaction during the interview
means only one thing to me, he is the perfect man for the job. He has dedicated his life to making the world
a safer place for all. For that he deserves far more appreciation than I could ever express to him.

[landho2]

To myspod,
This is not a police force as much as an identification source which identifies and then REFERS to the proper country officials. We will not be in danger of Scotland Yard coming to our home.
What we would gain is "an eye in the sky" both globally and nationally as to what is going on.

[genecoughlin]

Ron Noble is an American Hero. As a Marine Officer that has fought in Iraq during two tours in the last few years, I can assure that I know a hero when I see one. Thank you CBS for sharing the story of this fine man with the public that he is trying to protect.

This is the kind of arrogance and thinking that is going to get us all killed. We need the entire world in this fight and we need a leader who can bring that world together in that effort. Al Qaeda has completely rebuilt it''s organization using the policies of the idiot we allowed to take office last election. They are recruiting people all across the world using the fact that the vast majority of the world conciders that same leader to be a Southern Fascist. The World wide hatred for Bush and the Present leadership in this country is beyond anything we have ever seen. No longer can our leader go to another nation and be met by friendly crowds, now he must be protected by DIVISIONS of Military. That says MORE than anyone or anything ever could. Sieg Heil Bush!!

IF we can not and do not cooperate with the security forces of other nations, especially nations that was once our friends, we have NO chance of defeating these folks. There is ONE fact that you fascist seem to ignore.... Al Qaeda has COMPLETELY rebuilt and is RECRUITING in other nations using the world wide hatred for George Bush. Without co operation with the security forces of our FORMER friends what chance do we have? Sieg Heil Bush

[generalmary]

I really don''t think an emotional moment should get a man fired! It is nice to see passion about the subject of terror from some one in the lead in the war against. I have never seen one tear in the eye of Bush or his crew, or one of the Democrats. Emotion does not always denote weakness in business. I have a Master''s in International Business, I know how people internationally perceive people in power. His display of emotion is not going to discredit America. Besides if we replace him who are we going to get a Russian surely not another American. Finally , this under funding of Interpol has the awful smell of the fired US attorneys. I believe Interpol is under funded for political reasons. Maybe there should be a Congressional investigation.

[ramos937]

After 9/2001, we screwed up badly. It was right to go after Afgandiatan(?) Talabin but wrong to fight AQI the way we have been doing. We should have beefed up Interpol and cooperated with it 1000%. They could have provided intel on Al Queda worldwide to which the police/army of that country would have responded to. There would have been no need to invade Iraq.

Im sure that Mr. Noble enjoyed the puff piece done on him by CBS. A couple of items left out of the Ron Noble story by 60 minutes...Let us not forget that it was Ron Noble who was appointed the lead investigator of the WACO cover-up. Let us also not forget that Noble was appointed by Bill Clinton after Mr. Noble served in the BATF which is one of the government groups most responsible for the death of women and children at Waco. It would be my guess that someone in the Hillary camp is considering bringing Mr. Noble into her administration if she becomes president. This story on Mr. Noble was probably done in part to see what kind of a reaction (how many people would remember?) the other side of Mr Noble. Who is next? Puff pieces on Sandy Berger, Mel Reynolds, Larry Potts?

Before jumping on Noble''s bandwagon, a little research is appropriate.

1) Did you know that Interpol is a PRIVATE organization?
http://www.trivia-library.com/a/what-is-interpol.htm

2) This brief ZDNet article refers to SEVERAL scandals of false and defamatory information being placed at Interpol by Interested Parties. Do you want to take the risk of someone using Interpol to harm you?
http://tinyurl.com/29ydeq

3) Wikipedia claims that Interpol (formerly ICPC) fell under the control of the Nazis. Are you sure you want to support an organization that might be taken over by a rogue government or other private power?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol

"Interpol was founded in Austria in 1923 as the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC), with headquarters located in Vienna until 1942. Following the Anschluss (Austria''s annexation by Nazi Germany) in 1938, the organization fell under the control of Nazi Germany and the Commission''s headquarters were eventually moved to Berlin in 1942. It is unclear, however, if and to what extent the ICPC files were used to further the goals of the Nazi regime."

Ron Noble is kind a BFF in the language of the kids. I do know him personally. I don''t think power has changed him that much to betray the public good and his oath to protect and serve.

Despite what one feels about Mr. Noble, lets take a moment to look at the facts he provided. Seeing passion in a stressed individual only says to me that passion for his job drives him and he really gave us topics of which to consider about US isolationism and lack of passport data interface with the largest data source on the planet. This is the meat of the interview, not the public passion of a tired man. We need to get our government back in line with protecting its citizens and borders and not private industry and special interests that want to keep the Iraq war going on and on to enhance their bottom line.

Passion for a cause is passion. No one paid him an extraordinary bonus to take the Interpol job. He could make millions as a trial lawyer. Let''s look a those kinds of facts before jumping to judgement.

I was horrified to see photos of children and infants being sexually abused used in the Interpol segment. The internet allows these children to be abused over and over again as these photos are shared and copied and shared again. Photos that show partial faces and blurred body parts are not giving impact to a story, they are contributing to the continued victimization of the children in the photos and others like them. The importance of heroes like Mick Moran could have been conveyed without tactics more likely to shock than educate. I''m disappointed and saddened by 60 Minutes'' choice.
