Judge To Decide Whether NSA Spy Suit Continues

KC Jones, InformationWeek

The Electronic Frontier Foundation will argue Friday that the lawsuits over the National Security Agency's spy program should proceed while the government asks a higher court to overturn a judge's decision to continue hearing the case.

At issue is whether the U.S. government was within the law to monitor domestic phone calls and other communication originating from parties outside the United States in an effort to quash terrorist activities. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has since said the Bush administration will reverse its stance on domestic spying.
