Appeal to Supreme Court on Gov't Surveillance

The ACLU, on behalf of a group of civil liberties organizations and several Arab-American organizations, filed an appeal (PDF) with the Supreme Court on February 18 in re: The Sealed Case of the Foreign Intelligence Court of Review (FISA) (PDF) decided November 18, 2002. This controversial decision, the first in the history of FISA, gave wide latitude to the DOJ to conduct foreign intelligence surveillance using methods including wiretapping, and reading e-mail communications. The ACLU press release is here, and a related article on CNN via AP, is here.
