FISA Court Rejects Catch-22 Secrecy Argument in FOIA Case

In the first publicly known victory by a non-government party before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), the secret court today granted a motion filed by EFF related to an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The FISC gave its OK to the public disclosure of an earlier opinion of the FISC—an opinion that declared aspects of the NSA's surveillance under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act to be unconstitutional.

Edward Snowden has struck large.  He said his greatest worry was that his revelations would change nothing.  In the long-run, that remains to be seen.  But at the moment, he has caused a very large disturbance in the force.  YWA has been waiting for many years for an Edward Snowden to appear and despairing of the likelihood.  Oh, me of little faith.
