From the Amnesty post (http://amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/surveillance-uk-government-spied-on-amnesty-international#.VZRD7VrIjak.twitter):
"In an email sent today, the Tribunal informed Amnesty that a 22 June ruling had mistakenly identified one of two NGOs which it found had been subjected to *unlawful surveillance* by the UK government. It had said that the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) and the South Africa-based Legal Resources Centre had been spied on, but today’s communication makes clear that it was actually Amnesty International Ltd, and not the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) that was spied on in addition to the Legal Resources Centre in South Africa."

haha.... yep.... that just about covers it!
By 'The British" do you mean GCHQ, or the majority of British people who are appalled by what the agency does?

Huh? So something isn't a crime unless someone's gone to prison? Does the same apply to murder if the killer isn't found?
