NSA Head Admits 9/11 Used To Take Your Rights - Video
LONDON Britains electronic spy agency was acting unlawfully until December when it received intelligence provided by the U.S. National Security Agency, a British court ruled Friday.
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal, a court that oversees the intelligence and security agencies, said that Britains spy agency, GCHQ, was violating human rights when it received the intercepted communications from the NSA because it had not made details of the procedure and its safeguards on it public. In the tribunals 15-year history, this is the first time it has ruled against any of Britains intelligence agencies.
The court also said that while the lack of transparency in the past meant that GCHQ had breached human rights, the agency has been in compliance with the law since December.
The ruling comes at a time of heated debate in Britain over the balance between security and privacy, with Prime Minister David Cameron vowing to push for legislation to beef up security agencies surveillance powers if his party wins the upcoming general election.
In its ruling, the court said that the regime governing the soliciting, receiving, storing and transmitting by UK authorities of private communications of individuals located in the UK by the NSA breached Articles 8 or 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, because GCHQs safeguards were kept secret. Article 8 refers to the right of privacy, while Article 10 covers freedom of expression.
In December, the tribunal said, the security agency made public the safeguards governing the exchanges with the NSAs Prism and Upstream mass surveillance programs, making the exchanges lawful. The safeguards were disclosed as part of a separate legal challenge brought by civil liberty groups.
GCHQ said that the legal frameworks around intelligence-sharing were compatible with the law and that Fridays ruling against it was, in essence, a technicality, or in one small respect in relation to the historic intelligence-sharing regime. It also said that the ruling did not require it to change its operations.
The NSA and other U.S. officials declined to comment.
A GCHQ spokesman also said: We are pleased that the court has once again ruled that the U.K.s bulk interception regime is fully lawful. He added, Todays IPT ruling re-affirms that the processes and safeguards within the intelligence-sharing regime were fully adequate at all times it is simply about the amount of detail about those processes and safeguards that needed to be in the public domain. We welcome the important role the IPT has played in ensuring that the public regime is sufficiently detailed.
The British government is committed to transparency, Britains Home Office said response to the ruling. We have now made public the detail of the safeguards that underpin requests to overseas governments for support on interc

NSA Director Michael Rogers speaks Thursday at the UC San Diego, calling for a national dialogue on security versus privacy concerns
NSA Director Admiral Michael Rogers said Thursday that the nation needs to debate security versus privacy concerns in the wake of revelations of expansive government surveillance revealed by whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
In a wide-ranging speech at UC San Diego, which operates one of the nations largest computer science programs and is a leader in cybersecurity, Rogers contended that the Snowden revelations have hurt the National Security Agencys counterterrorism efforts.
After Snowden, a former NSA contractor, leaked documents 18 months ago, Al Qaeda videos online warned terrorists to avoid certain communications methods because the Americans are onto it, Rogers said.
Dont let there be any doubt from anybody in this room that these revelations have hurt our ability to conduct our mission, he said. As I look at ISIL and others, Im watching those targets change their behavior directly because of this.
Snowden remains abroad after being charged with leaking secret information about U.S. government surveillance programs. He contends hes a whistle-blower who exposed NSA abuses particularly the bulk collection of domestic phone records.
Most of the Snowden stuff was about us and the metadata and all that type of thing, said Lawrence Korb, a senior adviser at the Center for Defense Information in Washington, D.C.
External reviews found the NSAs surveillance was within the law. Still, Rogers believes there should be a debate on the long-standing legal framework that authorizes cybersurveillance.
What we need to have, I believe, as a nation is a dialogue about what are we comfortable with here, he said. A world of great security but limited freedom, I have zero interest as a citizen of being a part of that. But the flip side, a world of great freedom but limited security, I dont think that is in our best interests either.
He lamented that at a time when terrorism and cyberthreats are rising, public trust in the oversight of the NSA and other government agencies has plunged.
