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(duì)外保密。文件顯示，美國(guó)國(guó)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(bào)道，國(guó)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.
