CHICAGO — Attorneys for a Chicago terrorism suspect are urging a federal appeals court to uphold a trial judge’s decision to grant defense lawyers unprecedented access to secret intelligence court records.
In their March appeal to the US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, prosecutors said letting the defense see the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court documentation would be a ‘‘sea change’’ in how such sensitive documents are handled and could end up jeopardizing national security.
And might expose a lying shit government.
When did the U.S.A. become the U.S.S.R.?
But attorneys for 20-year-old Adel Daoud argued in a Friday filing that the trial judge acted appropriately and didn’t abuse discretion when ordering that the defense could see the documents.
Daoud is a US citizen from a Chicago-area suburb. Prosecutors say he took a phony car bomb from an undercover FBI agent in 2012, parked it by a downtown Chicago bar and pressed a trigger, but Daoud has denied those allegations.
Former National Security Agency contractor Edward J. Snowden’s revelations expanded US phone and Internet spying raised the profile of such issues.
Snowden now admits he was a spy, and therefore still is. The propaganda pre$$ attention is the agenda-pushing tell.
And the legal debate about whether secret court documents will be shown to Daoud’s attorneys is being watched by other lawyers defending terrorism suspects.

"Teen arrested in car bomb plot
CHICAGO — Undercover FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old man who tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, federal prosecutors said Saturday. Adel Daoud, a US citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, was arrested Friday night in an undercover operation in which agents pretending to be extremists provided him with a phony car bomb. The device was inert and the public was never at risk. (AP)
Another load of public relations bs with a stoopid patsy so the government can justify the police-state tyranny and perpetual war state -- against its own people in the land of the free.
All for a $elf-$erving band of elite $pecial intere$t$, if you get what I mean.
"FBI tracks, thwarts Illinois terrorist bid" Associated Press, September 17, 2012
HILLSIDE, Ill. — The investigation started months ago, when the FBI noticed an e-mail message: A man in the Chicago suburbs was using an account to distribute chatter about violent jihad and the killing of Americans.
Two undercover agents reached out and began to talk to him online. In May, they introduced him to another agent who claimed to be a terrorist living in New York.
Maybe I should start typing "Al-FBI-Duh."
The operation ended Friday night, an affidavit describing it says, when the man was arrested and accused of trying to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a Chicago bar. Prosecutors said an undercover agent gave Adel Daoud, a US citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, a phony car bomb and watched him press the trigger.
The US attorney’s office in Chicago, which announced the arrest Saturday, said the device was harmless, and the public was never at risk.
Yeah, it's just a big psy-op so the FBI can show you how much we need them, and so the false premises of the war on terror can be reinforced.
Think about it: if they weren't creating terrorists to bust they might have to do something else -- like rounding up the Wall Street criminals.
Daoud, 18, is due to make an appearance in federal court Monday morning on charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive.
The FBI often uses similar tactics in counterterrorism investigations, deploying undercover agents to engage suspects in talk of terror plots and provide fake explosive devices.
One time they did not: First WTC attack
In his conversations with the undercover agent, Daoud explained his reasons for wanting to launch an attack, saying the United States was at war ‘‘with Islam and Muslims,’’ the affidavit said.
And anyone else that stands in the way of the New World Order.
Daoud also told the agent he wanted an attack that would kill many people, the document said.
Then why didn't he drive it into the mob of striking teachers, etc?
I mean, I'm not trying to give anyone ideas here. I guess Daoud is just another product of the Amurkn ejerkashunel sistum, 'eh?

Yeah, what a joke.
I think we all know what is next, and it won't be funny at all. Talk about telegraphs.

"Rare rehearing held on terrorism records" Associated Press June 10, 2014
CHICAGO — A federal court opened a new hearing Monday after staffers failed last week to record the proceedings in a terrorism case that touches on surveillance issues raised by federal contractor Edward J. Snowden.
At issue before the US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is a government request that it reverse a trial court’s ruling granting lawyers for terrorism suspect Adel Daoud unprecedented access to secret court records.
Snowden’s revelations about expanded phone and Internet surveillance by the National Security Agency and how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court signed off on the program have raised the profile of such issues.
Daoud, a 20-year-old US citizen, has denied allegations that he accepted a phony car bomb from undercover FBI agents in 2012, parked it by a Chicago bar, and pressed a trigger. His trial is set to start Nov. 10.
Daoud’s attorneys have argued that they would face an unreasonable challenge in preparing for trial without the chance to comb through the documentation submitted with wiretap applications to the FISA court.
The defense has said the records could indicate that expanded surveillance methods led investigators to target Daoud.
They could also indicate a set-up!
If so, they could challenge all subsequent evidence on constitutional grounds.
Since Congress created the FISA court in 1978, no defense attorneys had been told they could go through a FISA application until Daoud’s case.

Looks like even the judges are getting sick of the tyranny.
