As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General
Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its
potent new terrorism-fighting powers. "There has not been one verified case
of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its
agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to
have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural
violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his
statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI
documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.
