EFF Sues the Dept. of Defense Over Surveillance
An anonymous reader writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation has launched a lawsuit against the US government, demanding the publication of information about FBI cyber surveillance operations. The EFF launched its action after the authorities failed to disclose information requested under the Freedom of Information act. The EFF wants to find out more about two electronic surveillance systems used by the government agency to monitor electronic communications." From the article: "A Justice Department Inspector General report in March said the FBI had spent about $10 million on DCS-3000 to intercept communications over emerging digital technologies used by wireless carriers before next year's federal deadline for them to deploy their own wiretap capabilities. The same report said the FBI spent more than $1.5 million to develop Red Hook, 'a system to collect voice and data calls and then process and display the intercepted information' before those wiretap capabilities are in place."
The real question is... if a man speaks in the forest and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong....
Zonk apparently read the article, so why the incorrect headline?
Is that some kind of sick joke?
. . . if a man speaks in the forest and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong....
Yes, but that's not the real issue. The real issue is that if a woman speaks in the forest and her husband is not there to hear her he's still to blame for not doing what she told him.

Obama likes poor people so much, he wants to make more of them.
"U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered a halt to the wiretap program, secretly authorized by President Bush in 2001, but both sides in the lawsuit agreed to delay that action until a Sept. 7 hearing."
Sept. 7th of what year?
