Investigate the FBI

The ACLU asks everyone to sign this petition to Glenn Fine, the U.S. Department of Justice's Inspector General, to investigate the FBI itself.  Proposed new guidelines would give the Bureau broad new investigative powers, but the ACLU suspects that the FBI has already been violating existing guidelines.

The new guidelines would simply provide retroactive cover, similar to the way Congress granted retroactive immunity this summer to the telecoms that went along with the Bush White House's illegal program of warrantless spying on ordinary Americans.
