Prior to the recently passed Protect America Act, warantless interception of international communication was illegal. However, in 2005, the NSA allegedly engaged in such interception. The parties that got illegally wiretapped have taken the government to court. Now the government is saying that a court can't declare the wiretapping illegal because the records of it are "state secret" or "privileged." Strangely, in a 2005 press conference, President Bush denied such warantless wiretapping ever happened.
There is something very bizarre going on.
