Confronting the State Secrets Privilege

The folks at FAS have an interesting post on the House Judiciary committee reviewing abuses of the state secrets privilige.

Basically, it's the wide latitude that courts give the executive to claim that something is too secret for them to be sued, you know, things like torture, kickbacks, and other forms of corruption.

Lots of meaty stuff there.
