U.S. vows to keep using 'state secrets' defense

The Obama administration has informed a federal judge it will continue to invoke the "state secrets" privilege in a legal battle with an Islamic charity suspected of funding terrorism.

The United States has designated the Oregon-based al-Haramain Islamic Foundation as a terrorist organization. The group, which has sued the government over alleged warrantless wiretapping, is demanding classified information about the program.

U.S. officials have refused to tell the charity's lawyers whether the group was subjected to presidentially authorized, warrantless, foreign intelligence surveillance in 2004 and, if so, what information was obtained.

I find it curious anytime someone is accused of something and instead of denying it their response is "I question the way you got the information."

This is a joke.. I have no intention of voting for this man a second time.. He is not only keeping info secret but following some of the bush policies instead of investigating to see if laws where broken.. I guess Nixon was right if the president does it it's not illegal..
