FROM THE ARCHIVE
JUNE 21, 2001 The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday began its first of several hearings on the conduct of the FBI in a number of high-profile cases. Their hearings came as Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered an internal probe of the FBI yesterday. He wants a "comprehensive review" to identify and fix problems within the troubled agency. Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Vice-Chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) introduced a bill to conduct a "a top-to-bottom review" of the FBI's problems. Leonard Peltier supporters are pushing the committee to review his case as well. Get the Story:
