Secret Court Says F.B.I. Aides Misled Judges in 75 Cases

August 23, 2002
By PHILIP SHENON 

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 - The nation's secret intelligence
court has identified more than 75 cases in which it says it
was misled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in
documents in which the bureau attempted to justify its need
for wiretaps and other electronic surveillance, according
to the first of the court's rulings to be released
publicly. 

The opinion by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,
which was issued in May but made public today by Congress,
is stinging in its criticism of the F.B.I. and the Justice
Department, which the court suggested had tried to defy the
will of Congress by allowing intelligence material to be
shared freely with criminal investigators.
