EPIC Sues DoJ for Domestic Surveillance Documents

Via EPIC.org.

Today EPIC filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit [.pdf] against the Department of Justice, asking a federal court to order the disclosure of information about the Administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program within 20 days. The Justice Department has played a key role in authorizing, implementing and overseeing the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance activities. EPIC argues in its court papers [.pdf] that the debate surrounding the program "cannot be based solely upon information that the Administration voluntarily chooses to disseminate."
