The Boston Globe had a story on October 27 about NSA refusing to share comint on US persons with other federal agencies, destroying the data upon its lawyers' advice sooner than usual in the face of anti-terrorism pressure. (URL may wrap) http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/300/nation/Spy_agency_destroys_data_anger ing_others_in_probe+.shtml If true, it's a big plus for NSA for complying with the law when others are rushing to bend, break and revise it. Some assholes are calling for unleashing NSA from its Church Committee restrictions, but a few sane people are saying, no, no domestic spying, we don't want to go through that again. To be sure, the story could be a cover for ignoring the law.
