Inspector General Report Released on National Security Letter Use and Abuse

The Inspector General's report on the FBI's use and abuse of National Security Letters has been released. It's called "A Review of the FBI’s Use of National Security Letters: Assessment of Corrective Actions and Examination of NSL Usage in 2006, March 2008" and is available here (pdf).

Also out today, "A Review of the FBI’s Use of Section 215 Orders for Business Records in 2006, March 2008" available here (pdf.)

The ACLU's reaction to the report is here. [More...]

bq. "The FBI has flagrantly put aside the rule of law and its internal guidelines time and again," said Michael German, ACLU National Security Policy Counsel and former FBI Agent. "Without an outside check, agents are able to demand at will and ask questions later. This is the kind of abuse that is inevitable when we broaden the government’s surveillance power and do not attempt to modernize privacy standards. Both the House and Senate have bills waiting to be marked up that will greatly limit this authority. Congress needs to act on this now."

    F.B.I. Assistant Director John Miller said today that bureau officials were pleased over all with the report.

    So does that mean all "mistakes" were well within the expected margin of error?

    Of course the BushCo way to achieve zero "mistakes" is change the laws protecting US citizens. When that is impossible, append signing statements so that, as far as King George and his minions are concerned, the law is in effect changed.

    Say that they will go back to normal, and I believe that they will abandon signing statements, VP as a special branch, super secrecy etc.

    That is one big difference between the Republican and the Democrats. The democrats believe in oversight and airing differences, a much messier process. The Republicans believe in lockstep and no oversight.

    A good example is the Dem nomination process vs the GOP's.

    In terms of what I would want the party to be. But they are nowhere close to the current GOP who would revert our country to a  Monarchy in a heartbeat were it possible. Whatever you want to say about power corrupting, and pols speaking out of both sides of their mouths, Monarchy is not in the Dem playbook.

    in your state, that's the best choice, imo.  It doesn't matter who it is, as long as a wrench is thrown in the works.

    Best case scenario from a Dem admin...a band aid on our problems and a cease fire in the war on civil liberty.  That's best case, again in my knuckleheaded opinion.

    PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH ISSUED ORDERS MURDER ME (none / 0) (#17)
    by LoriZarlenga on Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 05:15:33 PM EST
                                                                                                                                                                    2-16-08

    My name is Lori Zarlenga- Blaquiere. I was born on September 14, 1961 in the state of Rhode Island. I am writing to you for your immediate help. My life is in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to
    assassinate/murder me. You can contact me at my email  LoriZarlenga@gmail.com and
     my space.com/lorizz Also, you can find me on "google" by entering my name as keyword.

    You can view 40 file attachments/exhibits that support my claim by going to www.phillyfuture.org. You have to login my username LoriZarlenga (no spaces). My password is azalea After you login to www.phillyfuture.org click on the link "submit a poll" then click on "home" and then click on the link "40 attachments"  to view my exhibits submitted in the United States District Court of Rhode Island.

    You can view my photos regarding my kidnapping by law enforcement and cover up by law enforcement at the highest level of the United States Government.  Go to www.flickr.com/groups/bushassasinatecitizen/  then go to the bottom of the page and click on the link "your photos".  

    My case is legitimate. Please do not disregard my case.

    I have evidence and tapes on top officials and law enforcement among others to support my
    claims. The current Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse , Senator Jack Reed and former Senator Lincoln Chafee, among others are covering up and will not help me.

     I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.  

    I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received
    comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million
    members on their website.

    On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.

    On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am & 6:00 am a West Warwick
    Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public .

    I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007,  a West Warwick Police vehicle came
    up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year
    old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger
    side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue
    West Warwick, R.I.

     I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police
    vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back
    seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son .

    The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West
    Warwick Police were on the scene.  

    I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the
    vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with  my
    mother and son  in the front seat of the vehicle.
    I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force
    handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of  the West Warwick Police Vehicle.

    I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
    me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police
    Officer repeatedly ignored me.

    I continued to ask the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
    me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was
    trying to protect me .

    While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to
    each other with regard to capturing me.

    While I was in the back seat of the West Warwick Police vehicle, a West Warwick Police
    Officer asked me if I was injured and if I needed to go to the hospital inorder to lure me
    into consenting to go to the hospital.

    I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not need to go to the hospital.
    The West Warwick Police Officer told me that the fire rescue was going to take me to the
    hospital for a psych evaluation.

    I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not want to go to the hospital and
    that I did not need a pych evaluation. However, the West Warwick Police Officer told me
    that I had to get into the Fire Rescue and go to the hospital.  As a result, I had no other
    choice but be taken by fire rescue to Kent County Memorial Hospital for a psych
    evaluation without my consent.

    My  mother told me that the police officers apologized to her and  stated to my mother
    that they made a mistake .

    I was subsequently taken by ambulance and transferred
    to Land mark Medical Center without my consent and held hostage in lock down mental
    health unit against my will. All of the evidence that was in my favor was ignored
    by the doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County Memorial Hospital and
    Landmark Medical Center. The doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County
    Memorial Hospital and Land mark Medical Center manipulated and skewed the true facts
    to cause me harm in connection with helping law enforcement and United States
    Government  from preventing me from exposing the truth to the American people and  
    my case continuing on Appeal with regard to the criminal acts committed by law
    enforcement and the United States Government.

    My Mother stated to the psychiatrist and nurses at Landmark Medical Center that I was
    not delusional or paranoid and that I have never been a danger to myself or others and
    that I have no history of mental health, and that I have never had a history of being
    prescribed psychiatric medication and that I did not need psychiatric medication
    my complaints against law enforcement are legitimate.
    However, Dr. Elahi disregarded my mother statements and proceeded to contact his lawyer to
    discuss whether or not he should discharge me, despite all evidence in my favor.

    My family member stated to me that nurses at Landmark Medial Center made
    statements about being disgusted with Dr. Shahid Elahi for consulting with his lawyer
    with regard to whether or not to discharge me and delaying my discharge.

    The nurses at Landmark Medical Center stated to me that I did not belong at Landmark
    Medical Center Mental Health Unit

    I have never had a history of mental illness.

    On September 4, 2007, I was discharged from Landmark Medical Center.

     I have never had a history of being targeted by the United States Government, Federal
    and State law enforcement, among others prior to my L-tryptophan lawsuit.

    In August of  2007,  I had an Appeal pending in the First Circuit United States Court of
    Appeals with regard to my December 7, 2006 Complaint against the United States
    Government et al. As a result, of being held hostage in the hospital from August 21, 2007
    to September of  2007, along with  intimidation  from law enforcement, among others in
    connection with the United States Government I was unable to respond important
    deadlines set by the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals . As a result, my Appeal with the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals is in default/dismissed for lack of
    diligent prosecution.

    As a result of my ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan manufactured by Showa
    Denko K.K., I developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia Syndrome.  There are
    approximately 5,000 people who ingested  contaminated L-tryptophan
    manufactured by Showa Denko K.K., and developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia
    Syndrome.  There maybe more unreported cases of Eosinphilia Myalgia
    Syndrome caused by ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan .

    The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320,
    among other  violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued
    illegal use of L-tryptophan.

      If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K., for violation of the FDA
    rules mentioned herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold
    to the American Public and caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-
    tryptophan .

     On October 25, 1995, I filed a products liability lawsuit against the Defendants
    Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al. in
    the State of Rhode Island Superior Court.

    My case was transferred to Rhode Island District Court, (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K.,
    Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., C.A.No.1:95-629 ).

    My case was subsequently transferred for discovery to (MDL) United States District Court
    Columbia, South Carolina, C. A. No. 3:96-361-0.

    My case (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General
    Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., (C.A.No.1:95-629 )  was remanded to Rhode Island
    District Court in 2003.

     I  hired a lawyer Dennis S. Mackin in 2000/2001 who used  my case to file discovery
    motions in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-
    361-0), damaging to the defendant ShowaDenkoK.K.,their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
    Hamilton, and the United States Government.

    My former lawyer Dennis Mackin was paid off to withdraw from my case and to
    not go forward with the discovery motions and depositions damaging to Showa
    Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government.

    The discovery sought in my case that my former attorney Dennis Mackin filed in 2001 in   the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-361-0) was to demonstrate that Showa Denko K.K. and its attorneys have been involved in a continuing conspiracy to not only circumvent the discovery process, but to manipulate any scientific examination of Showa Denko K.K.'s  reckless and wanton conduct".

    The United States Government wiretapped my phones, hacked my computers, surviellanced me during my L-tryptophan litigation and to the present. The United States Government obstructed justice, unlawfully sabotage my case inside and outside of the court system at every level.

    My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his October 12, 2001 Reply of Plaintiff to Defendant's Motion to Qaush Deposition of Kenneth Rabin , that "additional questions must be answered about political pressure brought to bear upon members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation."" What information was given to Senator Thurmond, Senator Hollings and Congressman Ravenell?"  

    Documents made by Showa Denko K.K. included a budget attached to their public
    relation scheme which was an amount determined for congressional
    contracts, including the South Carolina delegation which was for 16, 000.00.

    My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his motions that, " The research of
    this Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome has been twisted by the endless
    manipulations by Showa Denko K.K and their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
    Hamilton and their confederates". " Worst of all, the scientific literature now
    contains representations by shills for Showa Denko K.K. that will cause erroneous
    medical science in the future".  

    The United States Government is involved in the cover up .

     My former attorney Dennis Mackin informed me that a promoter of an EMS

    support group was being surveillanced  and that anyone that who was viewed as a

    threat was being surveillanced and intelligence was gathered .

     The defendant Showa Denko K.K. a corrupt corporate giant, their corrupt lawyers,
    and the United States Government conspired with all the courts at every level to
    sabotage my case and the L-tryptophan litigation.

     Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government view me as
    a threat, since my  lawsuit still remains open that is damaging against Showa
    Denko K.K. and  General Nutrition Centers (GNC), among others. Also, Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government, President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear the threat of civil and criminal action against them for their unlawful criminal activities.

     I pose a threat to Showa Denko K.K. and the United States Government since,
    my  L-tryptophan lawsuit could re-open previous settlements entered into by
    2,000- 5,000 L-tryptophan litigants on the basis of fraudulent inducement and the
    United States Government's involvement in the cover up.

    They were entered into by L-tryptophan Plaintiffs who were unaware of the defendants fraudulent concealment and the United States Government's cover up.

    Showa Denko K.K., the United States Government, President George W. Bush and
    Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear a movie being made and publicizing
    their criminal activities which has continued to date.

    President George W. Bush's father former President George H. W. Bush Sr. was
    President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 during the Eosiophilia Myalgia Syndrome epidemic.

    I filed a Complaint on December 7, 2006 against the United States Government et al. in
    the United States District Court of Rhode Island, CA. No. 06-534 ML. My complaint is
    pending in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Government have hired
    my family, among others as informants to surveillance and gather intelligence on me.

    At the time that I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against a number of defendants
    who are employed by the United States Government, I was unaware of orders issued by
    President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assasinate/
    murder me.

    I spoke to a state senator with regard to my circumstances of law enforcement on the state and federal level that have harassed, targeted, survillenced me and have come out to my house and follow me on a daily basis. Also, the West Warwick police have even parked at my grandchild's school shortly after I exposed President George W. Bush orders to assassinate/murder me.  

     The state senator stated to me that federal law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Department of Justice are employed by President George W. Bush.

      Moreover, my case is not isolated by a small number of police and law enforcement targeting and surveillanceing me.   There are to many law enforcement and police and government officials organized at the highest level on the federal and local level that have targeted and surviellanced me. The state senator stated that the orders to murder me are coming from the President George W. Bush .

     Further, the Rhode Island State Police who have been targeting and surviellancing me are given orders from Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri

    In June or July of 2007, President George W. Bush came to Rhode Island and went on a
    private helicopter ride with Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri and had discussions.

     Shortly after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against the United States
    Government et al, two key defendants named in my complaint retired Captain Gregory
    Johnson of the West Warwick Police Department  and Supervisory Special Agent
    Nicholas Murphy of the Federal Bureau of investigation of R.I., and there may be others
    who have also retired.

     I am targeted, followed, and surveillanced by police officers, among others in the towns and places I travel in the state of Rhode Island and out of the state of Rhode Island on a daily basis.

     The level of intensity and the number of police targeting, surviellancing, and following me has increased after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint. And now since I have exposed President George W. Bush who issued orders to assassinate/murder me, the level of intensity and the number of police surviellacing and following me has further increased.

    My telephones are wiretapped. The United States Government is hacking my computers.
    The Federal Bureau of investigation, among others covered up the investigation of the hacking of my computers.

    The Federal Bureau of investigation, United States Attorneys Office , Attorney Generals office, Department of Justice, among others are covering up and aware of the fact that I was kidnapped and assaulted by a Warwick Police Officer Joseph Mee on January 22, 2006 that was organized at the highest level of United States Government to assassinate/ murder me.

    Further, law enforcement, among others are covering up the fact that on December 15, 2005 and December 16, 2005,  Captain Gregg Johnson and Officer Patrick Kelly and the Kent County  Memorial Hospital Emergency Room Staff violated my constitutional rights and deprived  me of liberty against my will and without my consent to cause me harm in connection with the United States Government and  Showa Denko K.K.

    On April 14, 2006, I spoke to Laura Lineberry who is Condalezza Rice's personal assistant. Laura Lineberry informed me that she could not help me with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and that I should leave a message with the Representative of Secretary of State. I left a message with the Representative of Secretary of State, but no one returned my call.

    On April 14, 2006, I contacted the White House comments department in Washington, DC for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and spoke to a young lady number(77) who stated she would pass on my comments to her supervisor and that her supervisor would summarize my comments and give it to President Bush. On April 14, 2006, I was unaware that President George W. Bush issued orders to assassinate/ murder me.

    President George W. Bush, Condalezza Rice's office , nor anyone associated with the White House, responded in any way shape or form to my plea for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein.

    I have evidence of my telephone calls to the White House, among others.

     The IP Addresses with regard to the hacking of my computers have been traced to Washington, D.C.

    The United States District Court of Rhode Island omitted my supporting exhibits on
    Pacer website and have intentionally obstructed my case and deprived me of a fair  judicial process, inorder to protect and insulate the United States Government et al.

    UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INITIATE ACTION AGAINST SHOWA DENKO K.K. FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:

           The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, among other  

           violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued illegal use of L-tryptophan.

            If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

           herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and

           caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.

            In 1970  FDA considered L-tryptophan  (amino acids) , when used as nutrients or dietary supplements, to

            be generally recognized as safe (GRAS)  for those uses, and published that fact in the code of Federal

            Regulations.

             In 1972  FDA engaged in rule making to withdraw and remove approximately  twenty amino acids

             including L-tryptophan from the GRAS list ( generally recognized as safe) and  to  regulate them as

             approved food additives that could not be sold without FDA's prior approval  in the form of a food

             additive petition, (37 Fed. Reg. 6938; April 6, 1972).

        In 1973  FDA promulgated a binding substantive rule that is presently on the books, the Food additive

            regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of dietary supplements,  

            unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21 C.F.R.   172. 320.

           In 1977, FDA seized L-tryptophan tablets on the grounds that  the L-tryptophan that they  contained  

           was an   unapproved food additive.  The court, however, found  for the manufacturer of the tablets

          because L-tryptophan was still on the FDA's GRAS list, (FDA had failed to remove it after the 1973

          rulemaking), and the manufacturer was acting in accordance with the FDA's regulation.

           In 1977, FDA deleted the listing of twenty amino acids that were the subject of the 1973 rulemaking

           form the GRAS list, ( 42 Fed. Reg. 56720; October 28, 1977).

          The FDA never renewed its regulatory action against dietary supplements containing L-tryptophan .

          The food additive regulation that the FDA adopted in 1973 does not list (approve) L-tryptophan for

           this use, and foods that contain unapproved food additive are deemed to be adulterated (21 U.S.C.  342

          (a) (2) (c)).

             FDA has not brought an action since 1977 against an L-tryptophan dietary supplement.

            The FDA sought to enforce the rule prohibiting the use of amino acids in dietary supplements in two

           seizure actions against products containing L-tryptophan.  Those seizure actions were not successful.  

            The U.S. Government voluntarily dismissed the second lawsuit because the lawsuit was controlled by

            a very hostile judge and the government feared that it would obtain an adverse ruling that would

           insulate all dietary supplements from regulation under the food additive provisions of the act.

       The FDA has not made any efforts to regulate amino acids since 1982.  FDA ignored the food additive

           regulations since 1982.  In 1990, there was evidence  showing that 30 amino acids other than L-

           tryptophan were being sold by at least 22 companies.

        The FDA  has failed to date to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.   Showa Denko K.K.  was in

           violation of the FDA Food additive regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of

            dietary supplements,  unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration  provisions of Act. 21

           C.F.R.  172. 320.   FDA should have gone after Showa Denko K.K. on an adulteration charge that the

             L-tryptophan in the supplements is an unapproved food additive under 21  U.S.C. 342 (a) (2) (c).  

             Also, FDA failed to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.  with regard to L-

            tryptophan being unfit for food, ( 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3).  L-trytophan associated with illness

            Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, is unfit for food.

            The FDA could have gone after L-tryptophan supplements as drugs.  The FDA could have

           developed  evidence that L-tryptophan used for therapeutic purposes  to combat sleeplessness and PMS

           which is what L-tryptophan was advertized for is considered a drug and the FDA finding  L-tryptophan

           had not met the FDA's rational food supplement test would permit the  FDA to bring drug charges

          against the product under either 21 U.S.C.  321(g)  (1) (B) or (c), National  Nutritional Foods

          Association v. Mathews,  557 F.2nd 325, 334   ( 2d Cir. 1977).

            If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

           herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and

           caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.

    On the Rhode Island ACLU website, there is a lawsuit against the United States
    Government for Illegally surviellacing individuals attending a peace group in Rhode
    Island and in other states.

    The United States Government has files on these peace groups and have labeled these
    peace group individuals as a threat because their simply anti-war.

    The illegal acts of our United States Government is not an example of democracy, it is a
    Dictatorship ruled by a dictator President George W. Bush who has committed crimes
    against humanity and has violated our human rights.  

    Representative John Conyers Jr, was the Chairman re: the July 18, 1991 hearing on the FDA oversight of L-tryptophan.  Representative John Conyers Jr, is currently the Chairman of the U.S.
    House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary who can call for an investigation and immediate congressional hearings into this matter.

    Please help me by writing to congress and. to investigate and call for immediate congressional hearings into this matter. Also, contact Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Jack Reed to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter. If the American people place enough political pressure to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter, then an investigation into this matter will go forward and the truth will be exposed to the American people.

    Also, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont,  Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and all members of the Senate to call for investigation and congressional hearings with regard to law enforcement engaged in an ongoing organized crime to assassinate/murder me by orders issued by President George W. Bush.

    President George W. Bush  has scammed the American people into believing that the Iraq
    war is a "just war" and that the United States military are fighting for democracy,
    freedom and for our safety here at home, and yet at the same time President George W.
    Bush is committing the worst crimes in american history against innocent american
    citizens.
