Keywords are vital.

I posted these threads this morning:

Glimmers of Bush: Does National Security Trump the Law?

and

Obama DOJ Defies Federal Judge ( Lawyers Refuse to Release Document in Wiretapping Case)

************************EXCERPT INTRO**************************

Then last Friday, in a case that’s gotten far less attention, Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama, the Department of Justice filed an emergency motion in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to assert that, similarly, the Bush administration’s domestic warrantless wiretapping program is a state secret, and that to allow its victims access to information that would let them sue the government would endanger national security. Today, the appeals court denied the government’s emergency request to block release of the documents.

The case involves the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, a Saudi Arabian charity that had an office in Ashland, Oregon until the the Treasury Department in 2004 decided it was funneling money to terrorists and shut it down.

Thanks for cross-posting.

We’re also coding threat matrix related threads with a “tm” keyword.

Many thanks to all who are helping with the coding.
