FBI Director Asks Not To Have Ass Handed To Him

If the Patriot Act powers is revoked from the FBI, they may have to resort to: GASP! Real police work! Mr. Mueller was read the riot act today in his testimony at a hearing to determine whether or not the FBI deserves to have these new found powers after it's been found that they have abused those powers pretty frequently.

While I agree that fighting crime and terrorism is a very tough job by some very tough people, the fact that this power was abused flies in the face of the rights that every American enjoys and is entitled to. If you are an FBI agent and suspect that a person is a criminal/terrorist, get some evidence on it. There are rules in place for a reason, even when there's a "ticking timebomb" situation. If you abuse your citizens, they will elect people who will remove those powers from your toolbox.
