EFF Notes FBI Delays In Terrorism Probe

CongressDaily's AM edition on Tuesday included a mention of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's accusation overnight that the FBI delayed its probe of a former North Carolina State University student suspected of links to terrorism. The agency used an improper "national security letter" to seek information and failed to report the misuse for almost two years, according to the watchdog group.

EFF used documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act and public records to piece together details of the case. The report came in anticipation of a House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee hearing on the controversial administrative subpoenas. Read more about the EFF's report here and here.
