U.S. Justice Department: National Security Agency

National Security Agency: The high court so far has turned aside challenges to the law on government surveillance, saying people who bring such lawsuits have no evidence they are being targeted. Warrantless programs mean they need no court authorization in advance, according to Times Colonist. According to court papers, the FBI investigated Muhtorov because of his communications with a website administrator for the IJU and WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department says for the first time it plans to use information gained from one of the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance programs against an accused terrorist, setting the stage for a likely Supreme Court test of the Obama administration's approach to national security. Jamshid Muhtorov was accused in 2012 of providing material support to the Islamic Jihad Union, an Uzbek terrorist organization that, authorities say, was engaging NATO coalition and U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
