The Washington Post reports that the FBI “illegally collected more than 2,000 U.S. telephone call records between 2002 and 2006 by invoking terrorism emergencies that did not exist or simply persuading phone companies to provide records.” A DOJ inspector general’s report due out this month “is expected to conclude that the FBI frequently violated the law with its emergency requests.” So the question - will the Obama administration prosecute these crimes of the Bush administration? Given that they've decided to pass on prosecuting torture, murder, rape, and lying the country into war, and that Senator Obama voted in favor of covering up the crimes of AT&T by voting for the FISA bill, it's unlikely. But interesting to know, right?
