Those darn liberal activist judges!

A federal judge is criticizing the CIA, saying it's hiding behind dubious national security claims to shield itself from a potentially embarrassing lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth already has ruled that CIA officials committed fraud to protect a former covert agent accused in the lawsuit. The judge rejected an emergency request to put the case on hold while the government appeals. [...]

In the suit, a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent claims the CIA illegally wiretapped his home when stationed in Rangoon, Burma. The CIA argues that allowing the case to proceed would divulge classified information.

Just FYI, this report is from ClusterFox News. I had to correct two spelling errors.
