Gonzales was told of FBI violations

Do you think former Congressman Bob Barr is right that Attorney General Gonzales is out of control?

MSNBC-As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. “There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse,” Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The acts recounted in the FBI reports included unauthorized surveillance, an illegal property search and a case in which an Internet firm improperly turned over a compact disc with data that the FBI was not entitled to collect, the documents show. Gonzales was copied on each report that said administrative rules or laws protecting civil liberties and privacy had been violated.

    There are a million reasons why anyone is a fool who supports today’s Neo-Con run “Republican” party. Fifth Columnist MEXICAN Traitor Gonzalez is just one of the reasons.

    Let’s see, we have approximately 30 million illegals on our soil, the majority of which are Mexican and Bush puts a Mexican in as chief “law enforcement” officer of the country. Isn’t that something akin to the fox running the hen house. Republican party, give me a break. But, CAROLINE, ps., the Democrats are just as evil!

    FBI crimes statistics clearly show these invaders to our Nation have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes than the citizens.

    So, as you want them here, and as I don’t, let me say I hope and pray that IF and When these invaders commit their crimes, they commit them on you and members of your family, not me and members of my family. I think that’s a reasonable prayer!

    Any Truth Seekers out there? Here’s a link to a documented pamphlet titled “The Color of Crime”. The link only takes you to the web page. There you will find some quick statistics and another link for a free pdf download of the pamphlet.
