washingtonpost.com — An internal FBI audit has found that the bureau potentially violated the law or agency rules more than 1,000 times while collecting data about domestic phone calls, e-mails and financial transactions in recent years. The new audit covers just 10 percent of the bureau's national security investigations since 2002.

by kobewan0824 spouted just now: "...by the way, as i said before, who the f**k cares? let them spy on my, ive done nothing wrong. "This makes you an assh**e, not just an assh**e, but a stupid assh**e. Why am I calling you, someone who I don't know, stupid AND an assh**e? Because it's people who say what you said who are partially responsible for them getting away with this. Maybe I'm an assh**e also, for calling you an assh**e, but at least I'm not a stupid assh**e. Don't you get it? A lot of things you can be arrested for today weren't considered crimes 6 years ago, 10 years ago. When there is no rule of law that those who create the laws have to follow, this means that they can go after anyone for anything - and this has already happened since the wool was pulled over our eyes in 2001. So IT DOESN'T MATTER if *you* think you haven't done anything wrong, one day your political views could be "wrong," your race could be wrong, your religion could be wrong, your economic status could be wrong - because what you consider "wrong" has no bearing. It's the fascists running things who determine what is "wrong" and what is illegal - and that can change like the wind.

...funny....I don't remember any uproar after the discovery at the White House, during the Clinton administration, of more than 900 secret FBI personnel files, including dossiers of prominent Republicans. (Courtesy of Craig Livingstone and Hillary Clinton)Oh...wait...they're Democrats. Nevermind.

yes, this happens all the time! For example, the last time the FBI violated the law and agency rules to collect data was......(this is your cue to tell me when that was, seaoverflowing)

1) If you want to pull out that non-related topic, I'll trump you with Watergate. It's about as related to this topic as that.2) This story is about wiretapping ordinary citizens, not Washington officials, who live in an alternate reality of back-stabbing politics. You play a different game when you get involved in politics. Ordinary citizens shouldn't be targets of political games.

...and there is nothing you can do about it without breaking the law. Resistance is futile.

"An internal FBI audit has found that the bureau potentially violated the law or agency rules more than 1,000 times"If they are admitting it then I'm sure its really 1,000 X 1,000 times. They should be sent to gitmo for terrorism against liberty.
