Selective Shutdown: NSA Spying Funded, FOIA Requests Denied
Government takes 'we can watch you but you can't watch us' position as funding stopped for select programs
- Jon Queally, staff writer

The government might be shut down, but both parties have agreed that the National Security Agency's dragnet surveillance programs will not be impacted by the stoppage.

However, fulfilling the requests of citizens or journalists trying to obtain information about the government's activities has been deemed not "an essential service."
