The New York Times reports on the disclosures and one of the court’s early classified rulings expanding government power: the so-called “Raw Take” order issued in July 2002.

According to the Times, the Raw Take order allowed intelligence officials working at the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency to share unfiltered personal information. Previously agencies were generally allowed to share information from court-approved wiretaps only after deleting irrelevant private details and shielding the names of innocent Americans who came into contact with terrorism suspects. The Raw Take order also relaxed restrictions on sharing Americans’ private information with foreign governments, the story says.
