The Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the Department of Justice for records regarding secret court orders that DoJ says allow it to continue its wiretapping program, according to the EFF’s website. Last month Alberto Gonzales said that FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) had authorized some surveillance and that the wiretapping would continue under this approval.
The Department of Justice did not respond to the EFF’s FOIA request for information on changes in the program, so the EFF is now suing for the FISC orders.
