No surprise

MANIFESTO

As if this were news, the Washington Post is reporting this morning 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, according to internal bureau memos and interviews. FBI officials issued approvals after the fact to justify their actions.

Sigh. I think we've been here before.
