Documents Confirm Lack Of Oversight Of Military's Domestic Surveillance Powers
On the heels of an internal report criticizing the FBI for abusing its power to issue National Security Letters (NSLs), newly unredacted documents released today as a result of an American Civil Liberties Union and New York Civil Liberties Union lawsuit reveal that the Department of Defense (DoD) is using the FBI to circumvent legal limits on its own NSL power and may have overstepped its authority to obtain private and sensitive records of people within the United States without court approval.More here.
The previously withheld records also reveal that the military is secretly accessing these private records without providing training, guidance, or any real record keeping.
