Google files amended petition in FISA court

http://j.mp/1aYlLrc  (Google Official Blog)

   "Today we filed an amended petition (PDF) in the U.S. Foreign
    Intelligence Surveillance Court. This petition mirrors the requests
    made to Congress and the President by our industry and civil liberties
    groups in a letter (PDF) earlier this year. Namely, that Google be
    allowed to publish detailed statistics about the types (if any) of
    national security requests we receive under the Foreign Intelligence
    Surveillance Act, including Section 702. Given the important public
    policy issues at stake, we have also asked the court to hold its
    hearing in open rather than behind closed doors. It's time for more
    transparency."
