Wilner v. NSA

Wilner v. NSA, 592 F.3d 60 (2d Cir. 2009), was a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Thomas Wilner and fifteen other lawyers who represented Guantanamo captives against the United States National Security Agency.

The lawyers argued that the NSA, through its warrantless wiretap program, had violated their attorney-client privilege. They referred to the January 18, 2006 lawsuit CCR v.
