NSA justifications to be released through FOIA

This could be interesting, but I'm not holding my breath. The rest of the Abu Ghraib materials, photos and videos, were due to be judged on their release way back on Dec. 15, and that hasn't happened yet. But, still......

Washington, D.C., February 13, 2006 - Under pressure from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the Justice Department on February 10 conceded in federal court that it could begin releasing as early as March 3 the internal legal memos relied on by the Bush administration in setting up the controversial National Security Agency warrantless wiretapping program.

Oh, and take a moment to thank EPIC, the EFF and the ACLU for their tireless uphill battles for civil liberties. They do a lot of grunt work, and I don't plug them enough.

UPDATE: And just like magic, I come across a story that an Australian TV show, SBS Dateline program plans to broadcast about 60 previously unpublished photographs that the US Government has been fighting to keep secret in a court case with the American Civil Liberties Union.

From the description in the article, these seem to be more of the same type photographs. The looming nightmare out there is the video Sy Hersh claims to have seen of pretty direct evidence of a young boy being sodomized with a stick to get his father to talk. Can't vouch for that other than Hersh's statements in the Q&A of a speech awhile back.
