The FBI Can Obtain Any Information On Anyone Without Limits

"In essence, the FBI and our nation's telecommunications companies have secretly created a framework whereby the FBI can obtain -- instantaneously and without limits -- any information it asks for. The Patriot Act already substantially expanded the circumstances under which the FBI can obtain such records without the need for subpoenas or any judicial process, and it left in place only the most minimal limitations and protections. But it is those very minimal safeguards which the FBI continuously violated in order to obtain whatever information its agents desired, about any Americans they targeted, with literally no limits of any kind."
Glenn Greenwald 18-Mar-2007 "The significance of the FBI lawbreaking" as seen on Salon.com

The scary thing about this is that if you read "Bush's Brain" by James Moore and Wayne Slater, you would understand the additional danger in this. Karl Rove routinely used the FBI to dig up dirt on opponents. Now, he has free access to information on anyone. And no one knows how much information they have already stored up for future elections.

Just add this to the list of actions that require the President, Vice President, and Karl to be impeached, and if appropriate, fined and jailed.
