“A coalition of two dozen civil-liberties groups called Thursday for broad congressional hearings on the Drug Enforcement Administration, citing recent revelations by Reuters about the DEA’s use of National Security Agency data to build non-terrorism cases against Americans. ‘The implications of the Reuters revelations are serious and far-reaching,’ the groups wrote Thursday to Congressional leaders on judiciary, homeland security and oversight committees. House aides say the matter will be raised during a classified hearing this month.”
