Holder Wants to Keep Secrets in FBI LawsuitPublished August 02, 2011, AP "In a legal declaration filed late Monday, Holder makes a rare assertion of the state secrets privilege, arguing that it could cause significant harm to national security if the government is forced to reveal the subjects of a mosque-surveillance operation in 2006 and describe how the monitoring was carried out."
"The government's position here is the FBI's conduct should be beyond the review of the courts, which would render the protections of the constitution meaningless," Bibring said.
"Following the government's argument, any domestic law enforcement operation deemed to effect national security would be beyond review."www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/02/government-wants-to-keep-secrets-in-fbi-lawsuit/?test=latestnews
