I tried posting this before, but I don't think my note got out.
Basically, from what I've heard this report is indeed inaccurate. The
FBI is holding a meeting on Thursday of this week where they will
explain their new desires, and the legal justification for them; let's
see what they say. (Btw -- this is apparently work that's been going
on for two years; it's not in reaction to September 11.)
