It would be naive for our clients ... to assume that their calls and e-mails are not being intercepted.
This calls into question every time the government has relied on national security to impose secrecy. The only reason to gag our clients was to stifle their free speech rights in the debate over the Patriot Act. The government flip-flop confirms our suspicions.
We are obviously very much looking forward to the day where they can explain how it felt to be under threat of criminal prosecution for merely identifying themselves. The clients are happy that the fight over this gag is nearing its end.
