A Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge slammed the National
Security Agency in 2009 for an apparent "flagrant violation" of the
privacy rights of U.S. citizens through nearly three years of
unauthorized searches of telephone records, according to newly
declassified documents.
The Director of National Intelligence released the top-secret documents on Tuesday in response to a California lawsuit filed after details of a massive surveillance program were leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The newly revealed documents include a furious Jan. 28, 2009, top-secret order signed by Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Judge Reggie Walton slamming government lawyers for "what appears to be a flagrant violation" of a court order to protect the privacy rights of U.S. citizens.
