The Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the Department of Justice, seeking records about secret new court orders authorizing the government’s controversial electronic surveillance program. The program intercepts and analyzes communications of U.S. residents with persons overseas. “Americans have the right to know the government’s basic guidelines for this kind of invasive electronic surveillance of their personal communications,” said EFF Senior Counsel David Sobel.
