>Senior national security officials said Friday that all of the incidents described took place before the FBI had completed a series of internal reforms—including written justifications for searches, more oversight and requiring analysts to actively opt into searching the foreign intelligence database. "Written justification for searches" is a recent reform? So until now, they didn't need any paper trail of their searches? Not that in house approval of your "justification" is really enough for this. How can anyone believe the FBI gives a shit if it took them well over a decade to go "maybe we should write something down when we use this."
