Here I discussed a motion the ACLU filed with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for release of secret court rulings that, according to the Bush Administration, necessitated last month’s Protect America Act of 2007. This entry discussed the Court’s request for additional briefing.
The government filed its response on August 31. Needless to say, they oppose releasing the decisions. Public disclosure would involve a horrific risk of harm to national security, dontcha know. The government’s brief (.pdf, 24 pages) is available here.
