"Attorney general orders review of state secret claims; Holder seeks to ensure legal use of privilege" by Devlin Barrett, Associated Press | February 10, 2009
WASHINGTON - .... Even as officials promised a thorough review, government lawyers continued to invoke the state secrets law yesterday in a federal appeals court in San Francisco. That case involves a lawsuit over the CIA's extraordinary rendition program.
Why do they have to review the secret black site prisons and floating dungeons of rendition that based on an damnable lie?

Under that program, US operatives seized foreign suspects and handed them over to other countries for questioning. Some former prisoners subjected to the process contend they were tortured. Proving that in court has been difficult, as evidence they have sought to corroborate their claims has been protected by the president's state secrets privilege.
Well, since Obama is a WAR CRIMINAL -- he's been on the job three weeks now and the fraudulent war on terror and all its indignities and murder continue -- he'd want to invoke the secrets so HE isn't EXPOSED for HIS CONTINUING CRIMES!!!!!
The American Civil Liberties Union has been urging the Obama administration to drop its state secrets claim. ACLU executive director Anthony Romero criticized the new administration's handling of the San Francisco case by continuing the legal arguments of the prior administration.
"Candidate Obama ran on a platform that would reform the abuse of state secrets, but President Obama's Justice Department has disappointingly reneged on that important civil liberties issue," Romero said in a statement.Get in the back of the line, dude! Us antiwar folks are first!!!

"Bills would limit use of 'state secrets'; Obama backs privilege in torture case" by Joseph Williams, Globe Staff | February 12, 2009
WASHINGTON - .... The "state secrets" privilege, a policy used by President Bush to argue that a lawsuit involving allegations of torture should be dismissed - and a position that the Obama administration has now adopted.
I want to know when the STINK LIBERAL-LEFT in this nation is going to WAKE UP!!!
Forget 9/11 Truth for a minute; can't you smell the RANK STENCH from this administration with its BACKTRACKING on one issue after another?
Did you VOTE for "CHANGE" and the black man so you could get BUSH'S THIRD TERM???
*************
Justice Department lawyers working for the new administration told a federal appeals court that its position did not differ from the Bush administration's: the court should throw out a lawsuit that accuses Jeppesen Inc., of helping the CIA secretly transport five terrorism suspects overseas for harsh interrogations, on the grounds that the suit involved state secrets that, if revealed, could jeopardize national security.
Yup, TORTURE is a STATE SECRET!!!
Ah, you'll KNOW IT when you are SUBJECTED TO IT, 'eh, Amurka?
The move surprised the court, angered the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the case, and caused some legal observers to question why President Obama - who entered office vowing an open, transparent government that would reject harsh interrogations - would adopt Bush's position in a high-profile case alleging torture....
I think anyone who is paying attention KNOWS WHY -- the ELECTIONS are SHIT-FOOLEYS for the PUBLIC too munch on!!!!
Yesterday, Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller.... would not elaborate on why the department took the same position as Bush because the Jeppesen case is still active and, he said, "we don't comment on pending litigation."
His administartion sounds JUST LIKE BUSHES!!!!!!
Nevertheless, Miller said, "this administration is committed to ensure the American people have access to information they have a right to know...."
Can you SHOVEL SHIT any faster, fscista?
The fact is THERE SHOULD BE NO SECRECY, readers?
We are ALL ADULTS -- not children like this stink, condescending government treats us -- and WE WANT ALL OF IT!!!
Of course, if the PUBLIC KNEW there would be a REVOLT in this country in a NEW YORK MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
