Thank you for getting the less-redacted IG report on Trailblazer/Thinthread out, @PGEddington! Two things. 1. Can you please post PDF to DocumentCloud or something other than Scribd, which is hard to work with? justsecurity.org/47632/hayden-nsa-road-911/

@PGEddington 2. Don't think this is right. It's true NSA OGC (and DOJ OIPR) thought it would be illegal to use Thinthread on USP data in 2000, as Hayden wrote. If lawyers said otherwise in 2002 (post-9/11 Stellarwind era, when FISA was deemed disposable!) that doesn't contradict his account.

@PGEddington (See Power Wars pp 178-181 and 187 for synthesis of what Binney, Loomis, Deitz, Hayden, etc said about this.)
