In 2004 and 2005, he was assigned as a Director of Intelligence Programs on the National Security Council at the White House, where he focused on intelligence community reform and the development of the Bush Administration's response to the 9/11 Commission and WMD Commission reports. Thereafter, Mr. Casey served as section chief of the Counterintelligence Division's Eurasian Section at FBI Headquarters, until his appointment as Jacksonville Special Agent in Charge in 2008.
