Latest Documents From Snowden Provide Direct Proof of Unlawful Spying on Americans
Aside from the important new information about the 2011 court opinion, the latest Post scoop also details previously undisclosed NSA rule-breaking. In one “incident” in 2012, according to the newspaper, the NSA unlawfully retained 3,032 files that it had been ordered by the FISA court to destroy. In addition, a May 2012 internal NSA audit counted 2,776 incidents in the preceding 12 months of unauthorized collection, storage, access to or distribution of legally protected communications.
