Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive“From the article at Wired Blog: “The Internet Archive’s case is only the third known court challenge to an NSL, all of which ended with the FBI rescinding the NSL, according to the ACLU’s Melissa Goodman.”  The FBI brought a national security letter to the Internet Archive, and Brewster Kahle (pictured, from Wired) with help from the EFF, not only successfully challenged the FBI, but also got the court case unsealed so that documents could be made public.

The bottom line here is that while the sample size is small, every challenge to an NSL has been successful.  When people stand up for themselves, the results are often favourable for Liberty!
