After LinkedIn Clues, FOIA Nets New Details On NSA's ANCHORY Program

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday July 25, 2013 @06:32AM from the taking-a-good-look dept.

v3rgEz writes "After the ACLU's Christopher Soghoian highlighted NSA programs listed on LinkedIn, Jason Gulledge filed a request for details about the program — and turned up lucky. The NSA released 7 pages of database descriptions of its ANCHORY program, an open-source intelligence data gathering effort. The NSA's FOIA office said it would pony up more, but only if Gulledge could prove he was requesting the documents as part of a news gathering effort or if he would agree to pay associated fees."

Thank you for this request, Citizen. Unfortunately, Glorious Leader Obummer does not recognize this as a valid reason. Please go back to watching American Idol or we will be forced to consider sending you to the reeducation camps.
