Obama Administration Says It Can Spy On Americans, But Can't Tell You What Law Allows It



McClatchy quotes Michael German, a former FBI agent, who now works for the ACLU pointing out the obvious:
"It's wrong that they're withholding a legal rationale that has to do with the authorities of the FBI to collect information that affects the rights of American citizens here and abroad.... The law should never be secret. We should all understand what rules we're operating under and particularly when it comes to an agency that has a long history of abuse in its collection activities."
