The nation’s secret intelligence court has ruled it will not make public documents or orders relating to the Bush administration’s warrantless spy program. The American Civil Liberties Union had petitioned the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to disclose its rulings, including one that reportedly declared parts of the spy program illegal. It was the court’s third public ruling in thirty years. Jameel Jaffer, director of the ACLU National Security Project, said, “The Bush administration is seeking expanded surveillance powers from Congress because of the rulings issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court earlier this year. Under this decision, those rulings may remain secret forever.”
