Watchdog says FBI violated surveillance rules

From Terry Frieden

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A government watchdog is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate at least 13 occasions of alleged improper use of FBI surveillance, including searches and seizures of e-mail and bank records.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) released 93 pages of internal FBI documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The documents previously were classified, The Associated Press reported.

The center told Senate Judiciary Committee members there may have been hundreds of such cases.

"We believe there is particular urgency for the committee to pursue this matter," the group said in a letter to Sens. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, and Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont. Specter heads the Judiciary Committee, and Leahy is the ranking minority member.

grammar nazi's =)

A refeshingly good post, I was going to start a thread on it when I read about it this morning. However it's no COINTELPRO, from the article the allegations seem to center around specifically the warrants renewal. So FISA has already approved the warrant in the first place. But still, the expiration is set for a reason. The FBI should be minding it's P's and Q's concerning this since it such a hot topic.
