Judge strikes down key Patriot Act provision again
A federal judge in New York rules the FBI National Security Letter provision that demands records without court warrants violates the First Amendment. The decision, in a suit by the ACLU, adds to a string of rulings against the Bush administration counterterrorism strategy. The FBI defends NSLs as vital for national security investigations, while critics note abuse risks and broad gag orders. The ruling bars compulsory secrecy unless a judge finds a disclosure would be unlawful or unsafe.
