DoJ "LIfe and Liberty" website: Uh, what PATRIOT Act revelations?: "Xeni Jardin:
Kurt Opsahl of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says,
Last week, the Department of Justice Inspector General's office released a damning report documenting the FBI abusing its powers under the PATRIOT Act and violating the law to collect Americans' telephone, Internet, financial, credit, and other personal records about Americans without judicial approval.
It appears that not everyone at the DOJ got the memo. The DOJ's Life and Liberty website, a site dedicated to defending the honor of the PATRIOT Act during the re-authorization process last spring, still reads as if nothing has changed. Take a trip through the looking glass and remember what used to be the mantra supporting PATRIOT: no documented evidence of abuse.
