Malice in NSAland

Kevin Poulsen was live blogging the two NSA wiretap suits in San Francisco.

One is the generic warrentless surveillance case, the other involving wiretapping privileged communications between a lawyer and a client, where the wiretap was inadvertently revealed to the lawyers in a document dump (the FBI subsequently confiscated the document).

At one point, in response to the government's assertion that they could not proceed on the basis of the lawyer's recollections of the inadvertently disclosed document, and that the government could not release the document one of the Judges, Judge McKeown, said, "I feel like I'm in Alice and Wonderland."

No, my dear man, this is Kafka.
