The New York Times, July 6th:"A divided federal appeals court today dismissed a case challenging the National Security Agency’s program to wiretap without warrants the international communications of some Americans, reversing a trial judge’s order that the program be shut down."
"The majority in a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Cincinnati, ruled on a narrow ground, saying the plaintiffs, including lawyers and journalists, could not show injury direct and concrete enough to allow them to have standing to sue."
And, of course, how do you show that you have 'standing' ---- that you are an injured party and have been the victim of secret surveillance ----if it's secret?
The Gostak distims the doshes.
