The U.S. government must consider publicly releasing classified opinions
regarding the National Security Agency's domestic spying program, a
judge ruled.
Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV, one of the 11 federal judges who sits on the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISC, issued the opinion Friday in response to the complaint under the Freedom of Information Act filed two years earlier by American Civil Liberties Union. That action is pending in the Southern District of New York, but the ACLU moved in June for the production of certain records.
A week earlier the Guardian revealed the existence of the once secret court by publishing an order leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about the nation's secret collection of the phone records of all Americans.
