Comment Abuses of the Patriot Act? (Score 2, Interesting) 672

How are these "FBI Abuses of the Patriot Act"?

These actions were actually illegal, so they could not have been authorized by the Patriot act.

Also, from the article,

Most such cases involve powers granted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which governs the use of secret warrants, wiretaps and other methods as part of investigations of agents of foreign powers or terrorist groups.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act was passed in 1978

It seems to me that these are just old-fashioned FBI abuses of power - not abuses of the Patriot act specifically.
