Appeals Court Rejects 'State Secrets' Claim, Revives Detainee Suit - washingtonpost.com

Quote:
Three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit batted aside claims by the Obama administration that the suit would reveal "state secrets" at the heart of the agency's covert operations and so should be dismissed.
Since you're fairly nice and might possibly read through the links. I know you heard about "states secrets" that Obama invoked.... Otherwise known as secret CIA camps. Of course to the public it's a transfer of power to other nations for "justice" despite having video tapes of what happens to those transfers. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id...onid=351020205

Most of the big L liberal stations forgot to cover this, they were too busy covering Obama's butt.

Your showing your lack of math and economics again.

Technically we do have change, change from those who bought positions with Bush, to those that bought positions with Obama. The only hypocracy is those that actually defend the selling of positions, lets scroll up to see who supports this.. ooh liberals.. The same individuals that oppose the rich..

The state secrets privelege is a long-established one. The issue with Bush was not his use of it, but his misuse of it. If one wishes to comment with any intelligence on this matter, understanding that difference is an imperative. In the three cases where the current DOJ has invoked state secrets, they have been defining an understanding of what has been the legitimate and traditional use of that privelege. They are defending against the baby's being thrown out with the bath water. In the instant case meanwhile, the 9th Circuit panel did not rule againt DOJ positions, but rather ruled that the case could proceed at this point in that there might arise no need within it to venture into areas that are protected by the state secrets privelege.
