I for one would like the FBI to concentrate on finding the bad guys and adjust the count later.

When I read the News report on this, I found it sadly political where Chuck Schumer took a position that 9,000 requests were OK, but 11,500 was just too much? Where is his line? It's the same as his and his party's view on taxes - they are too low, need to be raised, but won't give a number as to what is high enough. The same here, He was part of the process to create the procedure, but will play for points because of the size of the number. What would the difference have been if the number was 90,000 requests and then adjusted to 115,000? In a time of War, these people want us to be nice to the People sneaking into our Country, nice to the people sneaking into Iraq, nice to the people placing calls to into our enemy's territories, nice to the people we capture in battle, nice to the Countries building and selling weapons to use against us and our allies, nice to all these people who want to Kill us! At what point will these People wake up and begin participating in the War against us that has been going on for 30 years?

This appears to be a paperwork mistake. Many of us had/have jobs that require writing reports detailing the actual job. When you have many people involved with a given job, each having different roles, responsibilities and written reports, accounting details might be slightly off.
What I find most disturbing about this article are the comments from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), senior member of the Judiciary Committee, responsible for overseeing the FBI. Schumer called the reported findings "a profoundly disturbing breach of public trust."
He's Correct, however, the breach of public trust is with those responsible for the "oversight". That means YOU Sen. Schumer.
"Somebody has a lot of explaining to do," said Schumer, D-N.Y. Yes Sen Schumer, please explain why you and other members of the Judiciary committee couldn't recognize & handle this issue prior to an audit??? It's Not your job to oversee the accuracy of the numbers/percentages and make comments about a breach of public trust. Your job Sen Shumer is to oversee and protect the Rights of Citizens, so the Publics' Trust isn't breached.
If you, Sen Schumer, are unable to perform the duties required to oversee, Trust that the Public Will...

It is an underlying principle of our country that we have a clear government, that the people can find out anything the government does or the government has to give a legitimate reason for the information to not be available. If the government is releasing information that is fraudulent, then it is beholden to our officials to correct these mistakes. If the FBI is lying to congress then how is congress going to be able to create proper laws? Should we allow the fbi to create their own laws?
