FBI broke law for years in phone record searches
Posted: Jan 19, 2010
By John Solomon and Carrie Johnson Special to The Washington Post 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, according to internal bureau memos and interviews. FBI officials issued approvals after the fact to justify their actions. E-mails obtained by The Washington Post detail how counterterrorism officials inside FBI headquarters did not follow their own procedures that were put in place to protect civil liberties. The stream of urgent requests for phone records also overwhelmed the FBI communications analysis unit with work that ultimately was not connected to imminent threats. A Justice Department inspector general's report due out this month is expected to conclude that the FBI frequently violated the law with its emergency requests, bureau officials confirmed. The records seen by The Post do not reveal the identities of the people whose phone call records were gathered, but FBI officials said they thought that nearly all of the requests involved terrorism investigations.

In a broad ruling Friday, the court also said merely putting password protection on information is not enough to trigger the government's "reasonable suspicion" to conduct a mor ...

Car Broke DownJul 20, 2010
A man was driving along a busy road when he blew a tire. He pulled over by a field. On the other side of the field was an asylum. The man proceeded to change his flat tire. He took off the hub cab and placed the bolts into it. All the while a patient from the asylum stopped to watch. Just then a car rushed by knocking the hub cab and throwing the bolts all over the busy road. "Great!" the man said sarcastically, "What now?" The patient said to him, "Why not take one bolt from each other tire an ...

I have taken one 401K account. I may need to take the last one yet in this year and be hit with double penalties. I dont see much else of a choice with my situation.

I was sitting on the front porch when it happened and I immediately flew off the porch after my dog. I apologized up down to the lady. Asked her if she was okay. She went home and of course called the police and I was given a court summons. I went to court this evening where basically I took a beating from the judge. And of course th ...

Tx History Reminds Us They Were Dead Broke When TheyNov 13, 2012
So much for all that rugged spirit of independence. US history informs us that unilateral secession is unconstitutional without the consent of the remaining states except as a byproduct of revolution. The last time that notion took a test run, it was a costly, abysmal failure. Tx does have the option of seceding from itself via subdivision into smaller states that remain in the union. None of the above options pass muster with Governor Perry now that he is harboring fantasies of a second pre ...

She is very proud of the fact that she has a cell phone and knows how to add minutes, etc. The problem is that she will NOT turn it on because it "runs down the battery."

RETURNING PHONE CALLSMay 25, 2011
If you leave a message that you need someone to call you back, how much time goes by before they are just being rude for not getting back to you? My sister-in-law screens her calls and half the time doesn't answer the phone, then doesn't call back.

What's A Good Phone Company?Mar 09, 2010
I live in eastern PA and have been with Verizon for over 35 years. I have been late in paying the bill lately because of my work situation. Today, my son emailed me and told me my phone was disconnected. Huh? I set up electronic payments 2 weeks ago to automatically come out yesterday and this Thursday with a live person. So I called. The aggravation of having to go through those 'answering machines' to get to a live person was enough to make me flip. THEN, the person I tal ...
