eldavojohn writes "Although we don't know what they were after due to the settlement, a gag order was just released that kept Internet Archive member Brewster Kahle quiet. The FBI had issued a national security letter to them under the Patriot Act. Kahle fought it. Hard. The EFF came to the aid of his lawyers and what resulted was one of the only three times an NSL has been challenged... ALL THREE have been rescinded. The FBI agreed to open some of the court files now for it to be public. The ACLU added, "That makes you wonder about the the hundreds of thousands of NSLs that haven't been challenged." The Scientologists may have gotten criticism off of the library of the internet but at least not the feds." Link to Original Source
