So "evidence" gathered in a claimed Law Enforcement capacity against our own citizens should be classified? Forever, like even if they decided to charge someone with something the evidence against them should remain undisclosed?

Do you not see a problem with this?

In no way did I imply that. I am responding to the central "story" of this article, which is about denied FOIA requests. My point was that FOIA is expressly not the right tool to attempt to get the USG to give you their signals intelligence due to a specific exemption (which is logical, or at least logically consistent) for classified information.

Perhaps a lawsuit would be able to accomplish what you suggest. I have no idea.

Thanks for your take, it sounded like you were promoting the government's position.
