    There is a criminal in the DOJ. One of these days the other Conservatives are going to wake up see what this administration is doing to the evidence of serious crimes being commited. I truly feel sorry for those inidviduals who continue to make excuses for this administration. History will not be kind to the man in the Oval Office.

    What is so surprising about this DoJ decision???

    They refuse to allow American citizens accused of terrorism their due process right to an attorney. They refuse to release 2001 meeting lists from their Energy Legislation Bill Drafting work to GAO. They tear and tatter the constitution so that even this ultra conservative Supreme Court is forced to push back.

    It should come as no surprise that this administration is classifying public information in this case. Yes, Mr. Vladek, they would classify the phone book if they could and make sure you couldn't get a copy. I would be very surprised if this administration didn't make this attempt.

    "On Oct. 18, 2002, Ashcroft asserted "state secrets privilege" over Edmonds, preventing her from discussing specifically what she did or what information she obtained. The government argued that Edmonds' information "would cause serious damage to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States."

    The above statement would show evidence the hidden agenda this government has since September 11, 2001, nearly all documents concerning events, that fateful day are under lock and key, plus nearly all video taken that day has been sealed, in the name of national security. In hindsight, there appears to be an hidden agenda within the walls of people we should trust in protecting our lives.
