ACLU Considering Legal Options In Wake Of NSA Revelations

TPM reports:

This week’s revelations about the extent of the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities have prompted the American Civil Liberties Union to revisit its options related to a hard-fought, high-profile legal case it lost earlier this year. The ACLU’s lawsuit, known as Amnesty et al. v. Clapper, was an attempt to challenge a 2008 law called the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), which broadened the power of the NSA to monitor Americans’ international phone calls and emails. The ACLU brought the lawsuit on behalf of a number of attorneys, human rights, labor, legal, and media organizations whose work involved sensitive and sometimes privileged telephone and e-mail communications with people located outside the United States.
