Whose Privilege?
The editors of The New York Times write, "In the name of fighting terrorism - and with a clear goal of avoiding accountability - the Bush administration has imposed a level of secrecy on its operations that has no place in a democracy. One of its most disturbing tactics has been seeking early dismissal of lawsuits alleging serious government misconduct, claiming they would reveal national security secrets. The Senate is now considering a good bill that would rein in this misuse of the state secrets privilege and give victims fair access to the courts and the public a fuller understanding of their government's actions."
