A while ago I posted about the signs of fascism in any country. How many of these signs apply to the U.S. under the Bush administration? A lot, unfortunately. Now the FBI is trying to retain many of their counter-Constitution/Bill of Rights privileges under the "Patriot" act. (Subverting the Constitution has nothing to do with patriotism in my view.)
In pleading his case, director Robert Mueller said, "The statute did not cause the errors. The FBI's implementation did." So this is supposed to make us feel better? That the FBI oversteps it's bounds without oversight should make us want to give you unchecked authority? Not in a democracy.
Go back to those signs of fascism, and guess which one(s) applies in this case.
