More FBI privacy violations confirmed - Yahoo! News

More FBI privacy violations confirmed - Yahoo! News: "Speaking before the FBI chief, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., urged Mueller to be more vigilant in correcting what he called 'widespread illegal and improper use of national security letters.'

'Everybody wants to stop terrorists. But we also, though, as Americans, we believe in our privacy rights and we want those protected,' Leahy said. 'There has to be a better chain of command for this. You cannot just have an FBI agent who decides he'd like to obtain Americans' records, bank records or anything else and do it just because they want to.'"
