The government is now allowing the pubic to see some court opinions that had previously _1_ keep secret. The documents show that the National Security Agency illegally collected tens of thousands of e-mails that had no connection to terrorism. NPR's Tom Gjelten says the NSA argues that the violations of surveillance laws were incidental, not deliberate.

政府現(xiàn)在允許公眾知曉法院的信息，此前政府試圖對外保密。文件顯示，美國國家安全局非法收集了上萬份與恐怖主義沒有任何聯(lián)系的郵件。據(jù)NPR新聞的湯姆·杰爾騰報道，國安局辯稱違反監(jiān)視法是偶然情況，不是蓄意為之。

The documents are opinions written by the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court _2_ by Congress to oversee the NSA's surveillance of phone calls and e-mails. In 2011, the court found that one aspect of that NSA program was illegal and unconstitutional. The opinion now declassified makes the court's concern clear: "For the first time the government has now advised the court that the volume and nature of the information it has been collecting is fundamentally different from what the court _3_ believe." The reference was to e-mails inadvertently collected because they were embedded in larger e-mail bundles the NSA had intercepted.Tom Gjelten, NPR News, Washington.

文件是由外國情報監(jiān)視法院的審判長所記錄下的信息，該法院是由國會成立，旨在監(jiān)督國安局監(jiān)視電話和郵件的行為。2011年，該法院發(fā)現(xiàn)，國安局項目的某方面是非法且違憲的?，F(xiàn)在該信息被解密，使法院的擔心更加清楚：“政府現(xiàn)在首次告知法院，其所收集信息的數(shù)量和性質(zhì)與之前誤導法院相信的情況完全不同。”披露的信息表示，這些郵件是誤收的，因為它們包含在國安局攔截的大量郵件包中。NPR新聞，湯姆·杰爾騰華盛頓報道。

"In order to close this gap, we need whistleblowers like Pfc. Manning, people who are not afraid to stand up and speak the truth and to risk their freedom for the ability to keep us informed."

“為了縮小差距，我們需要像一等兵曼寧這樣的告密者，他們勇敢站出來，講述事實，冒著失去自由的風險讓我們了解最新情況。”
