NSA Refuses Order From Congress
The NSA recently asserted attorney-client privilege to block the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from obtaining documents it requested. Congressman Bob Barr (GA-7) noted in an article in Insight Magazine, "While this argument carries absolutely no legal weight, the fact the NSA made it in the first place is a definite warning sign that something is wrong." In response, Barr and Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) have added an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Authorization bill (H.R. 1555, Sec. 309), that will require the Intelligence Community to report within 60 days on the precise legal standards it uses when communications involving American citizens are intercepted.
At the same time, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a suit in federal court seeking a court order for the release of controversial documents concerning potential government surveillance of American citizens. EPIC had earlier submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to NSA for the documents. That time has long since passed.
