Senators seek rights protections in FBI probes

Also via Findlaw: Senators seek rights protections in FBI probes

"Three Democratic senators are demanding civil rights protections for Americans who might be targeted in FBI national security investigations without any evidence of wrongdoing.

In a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the senators also urged the Justice Department to delay still-tentative rules that would expand FBI powers to seek out potential terrorists."

Can't imagine the Obama camp will be too pleased about that being raised at the moment.
