FBI Accused of Mishandling Surveillance Records
A defense lawyer in a New York terrorism prosecution has accused the government of mishandling the computerized surveillance records of thousands of phone calls, faxes and computer data gathered under court orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the nation's secret intelligence court. The allegations were made in a court filing by Michael Tigar, the lawyer who represents Lynne F. Stewart, the prominent attorney who faced charges of supporting terrorism before a federal judge dismissed them against her and two co-defendants last month.
