Longtime reporters who cover the NSA know that any time we ask the obstinate spy agency for information, were probably going to hit a brick wall. But who would have thought that trying to obtain information about information the agency has already given us would lead to the same wall?
Thats what happened when the Federation of American Scientists filed a FOIA request with the Defense Department (of which the NSA is a part) earlier this year seeking information about any authorized leaks of intelligence made to the media during the previous 12 months.
The response they got (.pdf) from the National Security Agency might well have come from Winston Smiths Ministry of Truth.
The document responsive to your request has been reviewed by this Agency as required by the FOIA and has been found to be currently and properly classified in accordance with Executive Order 13526, the letter read. The document is classified because its disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.
Last year, Congress amended the Intelligence Authorization Act to require government officials to notify lawmakers whenever they disclose national security secrets to the media as part of an authorized leak. Under Section 504 of the statute (.pdf), the government official responsible for authorizing the disclosure has to submit to congressional intelligence committees a timely report about the disclosure, if the information is classified at the time of the leak or was declassified for the purpose of making the leak, and if the information being disclosed was made with the intent or knowledge that such information will be made publicly available.
There have been numerous authorized leaks over the years, including the controversial White House leaks about the killing of Osama bin Laden. There have been even more unauthorized leaks, howeverby government officials and workers. It makes sense for Congress to want to know when classified information has been leaked or declassified in order to distinguish official leaks from unauthorized ones. Lawmakers on the intelligence committees look silly when they tell reporters they cant talk about something, while government officials are freely yapping about the same topic behind their backs. They also look silly when they publicly call for a criminal investigation into a leak that turns out to have been authorized. And, of course, members of both parties in Congress want to know when the party in power in the White House might be authorizing leaks for political gain.
But once those leaks are made to the media and published, why shouldnt the public also be able to know when the information came from an authorized source or an unauthorized one?
Steve Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy, noted in his letter to the NSA appealing its response (.pdf) that It is well established that information, including classified information, that has been publicly disclosed on an authorized basis loses its exemption from disclosure under FOIA.
He has a theory, however, about why the NSA might not want to disclose what it has disclosed. He says that even though the statute refers to information that the leaker expects will be made public, the NSA might not want the public to know which information was part of an authorized leak because some might have been provided off the record.
I think its more likely that these disclosures were part of a negotiation with news organizations, he told WIRED. In that case, the disclosures in question were not actually published, rather they were part of a dialogue with a reporter perhaps in an effort to dissuade her or him from publication.

NSA Mind-Bender: We Wont Tell You What Info We Already Leaked to the Media

Representatives from some of the biggest names in tech had some harsh words to say about the US government surveillance scandal on Wednesday during a meeting examining the potential ramifications of the spying activities.
The special event in Palo Alto involved the likes of Google chairman Eric Schmidt, Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith, and Dropbox representative Ramsey Homsany, Cnet reported.
The panelists put their views to Democratic senator for Oregon Ron Wyden , with Schmidt warning that the impact of the surveillance is not only severe and getting worse, but could even end up breaking the Internet.
Former NSA contractorEdward Snowden last year blew the lid off the governments surveillance activities, releasing official documents that showed surveillance of Web usersto be far more extensive than most people had imagined.
Global effects
During the meeting, the speakers focused on the global knock-on effects of the Snowden revelations, highlighting how some governments are seeking to make tech firms build data centers within their borders in a bid to improve security. If every country ends up following this path, the tech companies said, the costs would be astronomical and could ultimately damage the US economy.

Fallout from the NSA scandal has already hit American firms, including Verizon, which recently lost its contract with the German government over concerns linked to network security. Snowdens documents suggested that more than 120 world leaders were targeted for surveillanceby the NSA, with German leader Angela Merkel among them.

Dr. Emmanuel Owusu-Ansah, former Chief Executive of the National Sports Authority (NSA) has called on the Ministry of Youth and Sports to appoint Magnus Rex Danwuah Chief Operating Officer of the Ghana 2008 Africa Cup of Nations as the Director-General of the NSA.
He said in an interview that, though Rex Danquah, has been playing a consultancy role for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, he will be the best person to manage affairs of the NSA taking into consideration his track record.
According to Dr. Owusu-Ansah, the former COO of Ghana 2008 is visionary, hardworking and aggressive when it comes to implementation of sports policies and strategies.
The former Chief Executive of the NSA, said the current leadership of NSA is weak and lacks the requisite knowledge to change the dwindling fortunes of the NSA.
Dr. Owusu-Ansah, who resigned recently as the Director of the Sports Directorate of the University of Ghana, said, Rex Danquah, will within two years change the face of the NSA and sports in Ghana.
He urged the Ministry of Youth and Sports to consider offering him the job in the near future since he has the magic wand to turn things around.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Fairholme Funds is appealing a recent court decision that dismissed its lawsuit against the U.S. government over claims to the profits of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) . Fairholme filed the appeal Friday morning in the U.S. Court of Appeals District of Columbia.
Fairholme, along with several well-known investors, including Perry Capital and Pershing Square Capital Management, owns a large stake in Fannie and Freddie Securities and holds the view that the government unjustly took the profits of the housing giants, in violation of the Fifth Amendment. The amendment prohibits the taking of private property for public use without just compensation.

On Sept. 30, a U.S. district court judge dismissed four lawsuits, including ones from Fairholme and Perry. The decision shocked investors and sent shares down some 40%. Fannie shares closed Thursday at $1.76.Perry Capitalis also appealing the ruling.
At issue in many of the roughly 20 lawsuits filed by various investors is a 2012 third amendment to the government's 2008 conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie, known as a "net worth sweep," which sweeps all the profits into the Treasury, leaving private shareholders with nothing.
"Fairholme believes strongly that the Net Worth Sweep -- imposed four years after the financial crisis -- was not authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 ("HERA") and must be unwound. Fairholme also believes strongly that the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") has contractual and fiduciary duties to the preferred shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that these duties can and will be enforced," Fairholme attorneys wrote in their appeal.

ROCKVILLE Due to actions by the county executive this week, Montgomery County is just one of three jurisdictions in Maryland that requires probable cause per the Fourth Amendment before honoring a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer request for undocumented immigrants being held in local detention centers.
"I have decided that, effective immediately, Montgomery County will no longer comply with ICE detainer requests except for those requests that have adequate support for a finding of probable cause under the Fourth Amendment," said Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett.
Since 2012, 225 undocumented immigrants from Montgomery County were transferred to ICE after their local trials. Recently, Prince Georges County officials announced similar policy changes. According to statistics from ICE, the agency detained 877 undocumented immigrants since 2009. Under the decision, undocumented immigrants would no longer be held beyond their scheduled release date unless ICE can prove the person has committed a crime.
We have been advocating for this issue for more than four years now and the legal landscape has really shifted in that time. There have been court decisions saying holding people on a detainer is a violation of their constitutional rights and were thrilled to see that Maryland localities are catching up, said Kim Propeack, politics and communications senior director at CASA de Maryland.
In August, Governor Martin OMalley announced Baltimore's Central Booking facility, a state-run jail in Baltimore city, would no longer automatically honor ICE detainer requests for immigrants.
Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler also weighed in on the issue: If a local law enforcement officer does not have probable cause to extend custody over the subject of an ICE detainer, the continued detention likely constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
In September, Councilwoman Nancy Navarro (D-4) asked Leggett to review the policy because the countys policy was inconsistent with the state policy from the governor and the Office of the Maryland Attorney General.
Governor OMalleys bold action and leadership should be commended, Navarro said. He has been a longtime champion for those without a voice in our community, particularly for our growing and substantial immigrant population. County Executive Leggett has stated that Montgomery County is a welcoming place for all people, and I concur. We must ensure that everyones Fourth Amendment rights are upheld, and that our policies are consistent with Governor OMalleys recent action, the advice of the Office of the Attorney General and the U.S. Constitution.

The National Rifle Association and their fellow gun enthusiasts continue to misconstrue the founders original intent in creating the Second Amendment to the Constitution. A recently published NRA comment states that Guns save lives, stop crime and protect you. This is why we arm police, why people arm themselves and why the Founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.
The amendment reads as follows: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. A total of 27 words.
The NRAs comment in the first paragraph would be accurate if these first 13 words of the Second Amendment concerning the role of a militia had not been included in this simple statement. The first 13 words have meaning. The founders were much concerned about the power of a standing army and the possibility of overt military control of the fledgling country.
In 1791 the members of the Virginia legislature elaborated on the importance of a militia in a letter accompanying their ratification of the first 10 amendments (1791). They stated that, a well regulated Militia composed of the body of the people trained to arms is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free State. That armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty: and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to and governed by the Civil power. 1791 was a time when less than 15 percent of the white male population, mostly untrained in the military use of weapons, possessed guns.
The requirement for a well trained militia rather than a standing army was further emphasized in several issues of the Federalist Papers authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. In fact, Federalist No. 29 was exclusively dedicated to the need for a militia.
Of course, the issue of no standing army was short-lived. The War of 1812 proved that a standing army and navy were essential to our survival as an independent nation. The concern, however, about undue influence of the military remains today.
Over the years Supreme Court rulings have essentially ignored the first half of the Second Amendment, opting instead for easy access to weapons. A major question: How did the founders intent to provide for a militia evolve into a nation with over 300 million guns in circulation?
Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, in his recent book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, proposes the addition of five words to the Second Amendment. As so amended, it would read: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.
There is no Second Amendment right to own guns! So intended the founders!

The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms.
How should that be applied in the 21st century?
That was the topic of debate at Albany Law School.
The panel included state lawmakers, college professors and Robert Schulz, chairman of "We The People Of New York."
They discussed the New York SAFE Act and the implications of mass shootings and the school shooting at Sandy Hook.
Its great for students to interact on real life issues at the law school, said U.S. Attorney Richard Hartunian. In this case the second amendment to the Bill of Rights and discuss its impact to today's society. It gets their minds working and makes for a lively discussion and debate,
Hartunian moderated the afternoon session. He was a member of the Albany Law School class of 1986.
