Obama and Holder, part of the most transparent (and trustworthy) administration in the history of the planet, don't want something to be seen...what a surprise. Let's see what the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights say about that - politics, Statists and tyranny can make such strange bedfellows.

Both political parties have contributed to the erosion of liberty - time to clean house in the next election cycles.

From an article in the Politico:

State secrets showdown looms

By JOSH GERSTEIN | 4/21/13 1:37 PM EDT

"During the 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama and supporters like Holder decried President George W. Bush's Administration's use of the state secrets privilege to defeat lawsuits over national-security related issues. After taking office, Holder instituted a process that he said would limit use of the privilege, but the Obama administration has continued to deployed it to block litigation over the so-called warrantless wiretapping program, renditions of terrorism suspects by the Central Intelligence Agency and other matters."
