Judge Lamberth approved emergency wiretap after 9-11

 

Judge Lamberth also served as chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the secret panel that rules on government surveillance applications related to national security. During that time, Lamberth worked to

cement a balance between the rights of citizens and the needs of government in an era marked by the advancing threat of terrorism. On Sept. 11, 2001, stuck in traffic and engulfed in smoke from the Pentagon

building burning nearby, Lamberth approved emergency wiretap applications by phone as he waited for U.S. marshals to escort him to chambers, where he approved more applications.
