To the Editor:

   All Americans have an abiding interest in seeing the lawsuit of al-Haramain Islamic Foundation go forward. Uniquely, the foundation can demonstrate that it has been the object of illegal wiretapping by the NSA. Whereas other citizens have been shut out by the Department of Justice's improper invocation of "state secrets", this is the case that can force disclosure of the extent of the last administration's spying on its own citizens. We watch with great interest to see that the new administration's pledges of openness and transparency will be honored.
