This article starts with "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." So you think to yourself, "Well, 1,000 instances over 5 years, that's 200 a year, which is less than 17 a month. That's not too bad." And then you read paragraph #2, which starts "The new audit covers just 10 percent of the bureau's national security investigations since 2002..."
Folks, the Patriot Act is bad news. Couple that with the fact that the FBI breaks the few rules they now have, and we are quickly headed towards a police state.
