Conyers Seeks Firing of FBI Officials Who Used 'National Security Letters' for Phone Records

House Judiciary Chair Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) has just issued a statement (posted in full at link below) calling on the FBI to fire those who broke the law by issuing improper letters from the FBI in order to receive access to thousands of Americans' phone records from 2003 through 2006 under the guise of "national security".

"I call upon FBI Director Mueller to take immediate action to punish those who violated the rules," Conyers says in the statement, "including firing them from the agency"�

5. Of the 753 "emergency" warrants issues, only 3 (THREE) were "terror related".

Then they said "We know it was abused, but if you renew the (un)Patriot Act, we promise not to abuse it again", and Congress fell for it.

I think my numbers are right and welcome a correction - they can't be so wrong as to make the point invalid.
