Judge: 'Sufficient Facts' Exist That U.S. Spied on Islamic Charity Lawyers


blog.wired.com

A federal judge ruled Monday that "sufficient facts" exist to keep alive a lawsuit brought by two U.S.-based lawyers for a Islamic charity who say they were eavesdropped on without warrants.

The suit involves two American lawyers accidentally given a Top Secret document showing they were eavesdropped on by the government when working for a now-defunct Islamic charity in 2004.

Their suit looked all but dead in July when they were initially blocked from using that document to prove they were spied on.


Yeah great. Just like the secret courts that can apprehend you, give you no access to a lawyer, hold you indefinitely, and everything else. Top secret ought to be used for other things, clearly, but Bush seems to add his own interpretation of what those powers are for. Clearly, they were not meant for bypassing Congress to spy on fellow countrymen.

"The plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts to withstand the government's motion to dismiss," Walker ruled in a 25-page opinion (.pdf). Walker said the nation's spy laws now demand that he view the classified document and others to decide whether the lawyers were spied on illegally and whether Bush's spy program was unlawful.


Hehe, good luck on getting your hands on that, cause you're gonna need it. And oh, while you are so boldly challenging the establishment, how bout digging up those videos at the pentagon for us all to see too, eh?

And surely a man of your stature might issue one tiny, itsy bitsy ruling demanding to see the long form of Obama's birth certificate before you swear your allegiance to him as Pres?

Walker is also considering a lawsuit brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation challenging whether Congress unconstitutionally granted immunity to telecommunications companies from those lawsuits accusing them of assisting the Bush administration to secretly spy on Americans without warrants.


Well Mr. Walker, it does take an evil neocon to misinterpret the famous phrase "freedom from unreasonable search and seizure." Problem is, they couldn't, so instead they want to do it anyway so they use Executive Privilege and "Top Secret" orders.

Well yep. I think you ought to demand that document, Mr. Walker, especially if you have the security clearance to view it, which no doubt you probably do.

And oh, one other thing: Any chance you'd hear a citizen's grand jury case on 9/11? Because I can think of a great place to start for evidence, and that is CIT. The Pentacon. Just google it Mr. Walker. I have faith in you.

Wow, no replies, eh. Hmm, well I realize the title isn't exactly eye catching, but I think you guys might want to take a look at this story.

A lot of us scream and complain about government misgivings, but when a truly hero judge tries to do something about it and stand up to the establishment, it's like no one cares.

On the contrary, people. We need to get behind and rally around this judge!
