Civil Liberties and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

Omtale

This volume highlights the judicial and legislative tug of war over civil liberties and government actions, focusing on the actions of a little known but important court with direct and significant impact on individual freedoms - The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. It explores where this court originated, why it was created, what its track record has been, and what policies it uses to justify expansion of its authority in the post 9/11 arena.
