Practical Domestic Surveillance and Wiretapping Primer (Dennis M. Kennedy)
For any who wish to argue the facts rather than the emotions on either side regarding this very important issue.
Practical Domestic Surveillance and Wiretapping Primer (Dennis M. Kennedy):
I must confess that I find the legal analysis I've read on FISA, the NSA and the recent wiretapping news to be hard slogging indeed. Here's an example: "This is meant as an exceedingly tentative analysis, with the purposes of disaggregating the issues and of suggesting that there are several unresolved questions here." I guess so.
Instead, I prefer plain-spoken, just plain interesting and more informative posts like one called "Wiretap Mystery: Spooks React" on DefenseTech.org.
The post, among other things, references an excellent survey of domestic surveillance by security guru Bruce Schneier.
Even better, both the DefenseTech post and Schneier's post point you to other good resources.
