Lawmakers threaten FBI over spy powers - Yahoo! News

Lawmakers threaten FBI over spy powers - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON - Republicans and Democrats sternly warned the
FBI on Tuesday that it could lose its broad power to collect telephone, e-mail and financial records to hunt terrorists after revelations of widespread abuses of the authority detailed in a recent internal investigation."

"From the attorney general on down, you should be ashamed of yourself," said Rep. Darrell Issa (news, bio, voting record), R-Calif. "We stretched to try to give you the tools necessary to make America safe, and it is very, very clear that you've abused that trust."
