FBI abuses

I am and probably will remain a supporter of the Patriot Act. However, the recently disclosed abuses by the FBI are intolerable. Director Mueller has stated that he will not resign as a result of the abuses. President Bush should fire Mueller and the Justice Department should investigate and determine who was responsible for the violations of law and prosecute to the limit of the law.

In my opinion, theses abuses are significantly more severe and important than prosecuting or persecuting people like Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby for lying to the FBI. After all, neither did any more or as much and former President Clinton. He not only lied to the FBI but also to the American public on national television.

Maybe if Director Mueller had been more concerned with watching what his agent were doing instead of chasing insignificant liars these abuses of power could have been avoided. Although he didn't commit the abuses he is still just as responsible. Obviously, he doesn't feel the "buck stops with" him.

If President Bush is unwilling to fire Mueller then Congress should takes steps to remove him.
