Ashcroft DOJ Saves Us from Ourselves

Just ran across a very nice post on The Memory Hole, documenting the Department of Justice's creative approach to protecting national security. Apparently, among the passages that the Department required the ACLU to black out in a court brief against the Patriot Act (on the grounds that releasing the material publicly could harm U.S. security or jeopardize intelligence sources) was a quotation from a 1972 Supreme Court case.

Well, I certainly feel safer. How about you?
