"Frank Jannuzi, deputy executive director of Amnesty International and the head of its Washington office, said he was particularly galled because less than four months ago the Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit that his group and others had brought. The case was aimed at challenging the federal law that broadened the government’s power to eavesdrop on international phone calls and e-mails. The court ruled in a 5-to-4 decision that the plaintiffs’ claims that they could be harmed was speculation and that they had no legal standing to sue." - Rick Gladstone, The New York Times
