Because they need to start doing their fucking job.
The FBI violated the law in collecting thousands of U.S. telephone records during the Bush administration, The Washington Post reported Monday.
Citing internal memos and interviews, the Post said the FBI invoked nonexistent terrorism emergencies or persuaded phone companies to provide information as it illegally gathered more than 2,000 records between 2002 and 2006.
The bureau said in 2007 that it had improperly obtained some phone records, and the Justice Department inspector general is expected to release a report this month detailing the extent of the problem.
Since we can’t sue the FBI for illegally collecting thousands of phone records then we need to sue the telecommunication companies for giving them the records. Oh that’s right, our government gave telecommunication companies immunity.
Well, let’s stage a protest in several major cities to show how disgusted we are with the FBI for breaking the law. Fuck, people are too busy protesting NBC’s firing of Conan O’Brien. You know America is fucked up when Americans would rather protest the firing of a middle-age millionaire than protest the FBI illegally collecting thousands of phone records by faking terrorist emergencies.
And people wonder why I drink so much…

Hey, PhP, another great post. I normally wouldn’t trouble you with an issue as minor as a typo, but in this case it makes the meaning of your post title confusing. Specifically, you’ve got an extra i in polices.
(By the way, I’m linking to this item as describing an example of politics being depressing.)

@cft – Please feel free to point out any of my typos. It’s the only way I’ll learn. And thanks for the link. If it wasn’t for beer and weed I wouldn’t be able to talk about politics.
