'Recent Changes' Allow FBI to 'Bypass' Oversight Office

Via EPIC.

Documents obtained by EPIC in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit reveal FBI agents expressing frustration that the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, an office that reviews FBI search requests, had not approved applications for orders under Section 215 of the Patriot Act.

A subsequent memo refers to "recent changes" allowing the FBI to "bypass" the office. EPIC is expecting to receive further information about this matter.
