Christmas Comes Early! EFF Gets FAA Document DumpHey, remember the fight around updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act? Also known as the FISA Amendments Act? Also known as one of the biggest legislative and legal battles we’ve ever had over surveillance? Well, the Electronic Frontier Foundation just got a whole bunch of never-before-seen documents pertaining to drafting and debate around the legislation and Wired magazine’s Threat Level blog is asking for your help in perusing them. Frankly, it’s got to be a treasure trove of juicy details and I wish I had all the time in the world to go through it but I don’t. Maybe you do? CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post incorrectly identified EFF. Thanks Ann O'Nym!
We intend the comments portion of this blog to be a forum where you can freely express your views on blog postings and on comments made by other people. Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published. Finally, the ACLU cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information in the comment section and expressly disclaims any liability for any information in this section. 7 Responses to "Christmas Comes Early!

We'll have a look over at Irregular Times, and pass the word on to our readers to help with the task.

You don't have to tell me, just look at my FOIA action Elkins v FAA 3:08cv1073PK in US District Court, Portland Oregon, the DOJ and local law enforcement (Portland Police)were heavily engaged in "UNWARRENTED SURVEILLANCE". This action exposes the abuse of exemption 2,3,7e, and the Federal Avaition Administration was duped by the Fed's to lie, withhold in violation of FOIA

I'm another person who's been surveilled for no apparent reason. I'm a professional, patriotic American and my life has been turned upside down. Appeal to law enforcement? They turn a blind eye... Why?

You have NO IDEA how pervasive the surveillance of innocent Americans has been, how many homes have had valuables stolen or damaged ( "TOSS IT !!!") and how many lives ruined by gag order questioning of a citizen's business relations, with attempts to sully and besmirch Bush or freemasonry's enemies.
This is the new world orders' Modus Operandi in marginalizing ALL who question their destruction of democracy and replacement of it with King George Masonic Lodge governance. The madness of the freemasons is alive, and did not die when they killed William Mopgan in New York.
