I understand this "Secret Court" has been around since 1978, it is nothing new. It was set up to approve wire taps involving national security issues ( an example is wiretapping a Pollard or Robert Hansen) you wouldn't want this stuff where the bad guy's could see it.

So the Clinton's had this.

I think the press is making a big deal about because Ashcroft is using it against the bad guys. If Algore were president, there wouldn't be a peep about this (although we probably would have surendered already).
