More of the Endgame...

From MSNBC.com:

"WASHINGTON - Congress wants to know how the FBI illegally or improperly gathered telephone, e-mail and financial records of Americans and foreigners while chasing terrorists.


Glenn A. Fine, the Justice Department inspector general who revealed FBI data-gathering abuses in a 130-page report last week, was to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The panel also called FBI General Counsel Valerie Caproni, whose office was taken to task by Fine for inadequate supervision of the bureau's use of documents called national security letters to gather data.

In a review of headquarters files and a sampling of just four of the FBI's 56 field offices, Fine found 48 violations of law or presidential directives during 2003-2005 and estimated that "a significant number of ... violations throughout the FBI have not been identified or reported.""

Democrats in Congress have been reluctant to even mention the word impeachment, but not since Iran-Contra and Watergate have there been such pressing reasons for doing so, and these violations are just the tip of the iceberg it seems. MSNBC.com's Live Vote poll is at last count 87% for it, while Zogby is about even though geographically lopsided. Either way this can't go on for much longer with out a serious debate ensuing. Perhaps if Bush changed his rhetoric...nope, ain't going to happen.
