Legislative Action Needed to Correct FBI Misuse of National Security Letters - Widespread errors in the use of National Security Letters requires legislative action, says a CDT paper released today. The documents are used by the FBI when seeking records containing sensitive personal information. Successive Inspector General reports have uncovered abuses and mistakes by the FBI in issuing the NSLs. The CDT Policy Post says that FBI self-policing doesn't work. CDT believes there should be a more exacting standard for issuing NSLs and that prior judicial authorization should be required when sensitive personal information is sought. May 14, 2008
