Gag orders! And the fun thing about some gag orders is that even telling someone you have one can be a violation of he order. Not very American of us. There are a lot of former agents out there that would love to tell their stories. Another good example of why we should consider ourselves lucky to have the ACLU and EFF. Gag orders!

Act need to be overturned, or rescinded, or whatever it is they do when a law is ridiculous and is being abused. And somebody needs to give the FBI a stern talking to. The Patriot (pshaw!)

The OIG found a lot of problems with the way these were handled, so ... yes, there are a lot of unchallenged improper NSLs out there. Good for Brewster Kahle and others who stand up to this abuse of power.
