DOJ To Claim National Security in NSA Case

deblau writes "Wired is reporting that the federal government intends to invoke the rarely used 'State Secrets Privilege' in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class action lawsuit against AT&T. The case alleges that the telecom collaborated with the NSA's secret spying on American citizens. The State Secrets Privilege lets the executive branch step into a civil lawsuit and have it dismissed if the case might reveal information that puts national security at risk."

Do you even know what an analogy is?

1. the NSA is not an elephant
2. the AT&T is not your kitchen

your analogy falls down flat on both of those points.</i></blockquote>

Um, if the NSA was an elephant and AT&T was his kitchen then it would cease to be an analogy, it would be an anecdote.
