The New York Times filed suit against the National Security Agency in US District Court, in Manhattan. The publication believes the Freedom of Information Act entitles it to all internal memorandums, e-mails, and legal opinions related to the 'domestic spy' program. Further, the Times requested meeting logs, calendar items, and any notes related to the program.
Only in America will a newspaper sue their government's defense establishment for information and intelligence on a war still being fought.
Not too long ago (WWII), the American media supported Americans (tacitly and explicitly) during military engagements. Now they want our intel in the public record.
