House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wisconsin, led criticisms of the FBI's serious errors in issuing secret "national security letters."
Obey and other Democrats on the House panel expressed disappointment that the FBI did not appear to have fully fixed how the sensitive letters -- sent to financial institutions, Internet service providers and other businesses that hold private citizen information -- are issued.
