State Secrets
Heard this on NPR this morning and had to look it up.
Here's the story about a German guy who had a really bad day thanks to the USA.
The Federal government is trying to have his lawsuit dismissed by invoking a "State Secret" precedent which says the legal proceedings of a trial would make public too many state secrets (like maybe, for example, the fact that the USA is kidnapping innocent people and doing nasty things to them to make them confess to crimes?).
For fun, listen to Sen. Leahy voice displeasure over non-warranted data mining.

What is more disturbing is when you put all of these pieces together. Today you can be spied on, abducted, imprisoned, denied a lawyer and perhaps tortured. And all without any oversight or recourse. Do they still make kids read George Orwell in school?
