NSA FOIA: Ask About Data Repackaging
The NSA cannot intercept all communications. For the NSA and overseas intelligence to trace data, they must explain how data was first obtained, then used for subsequent searches.
FOIA Request
In your FOIA request of the NSA, ask how data, illegally obtained, is repackaged, and repositioned under the umbrella of another program. The allegedly illegally captured data is then allegedly searched illegally, then allegedly provided as investigative leads to civilian law enforcement.
The Senate and House Intelligence Committees will have to explain why they have not asked for detailed, step-by-step examples of how a specific data intercept was or wasn't linked to a US citizen communication or electronic activity. This has not been adequately done.
Geneva and This FOIA Request
Issues of war crimes fall into a separate compartment than discovery. War crimes evidence may not be lawfully destroyed. The Constitution does not delegate any power or right to the US Government or persons/individuals/entities to destroy, suppress, or hide war crimes evidence. It is illegal for the US government, agents, outside counsel to attempt to dissaude public discussion of war crimes evidence.
This topic falls under the laws of war as an issue of public interest. It is illegal, as an allged subsequent war crime, to target anyone for their discussion of this alleged war crimes evidence.
