Okay you see, this is what I love about congress. They setup the CIA statutory concept of plausable denability, then get upset when the CIA does something illegal. They fund the FBI, create it's jurisdiction, authorize it's wiretappings, setup the statues, and when the FBI does what it's told to do by law (read: what congress told them to do), it's time for congress to investigate the alleged 'abuse.' Fascinating creatures them politicians. If they want to investigate someone, they need to investigate themselves-- during these hearings I bet you the question of if the FBI is execeeding it's statutory powers will never even be brought up, mostly because these 'so called abuses' are created by the people investigating them.
History:
Congress investigates the IRS for making things too complex (umm, now was it the IRS who made it complicated, or the IRS trying to follow the 1.6 million lines of tax code passed by congress?) ... The pentagon ... the CIA ... the INS... hmm...
