I agree...but caution that this is but a very small step in the right direction.
This really peaked my attention:
[quote:]Charles Miller, a spokesman for the United States Attorney's office, said the ruling was under review. "The government has made no determination yet as to what the government's next step will be," he said./[quote]
And frankly I call bullshit. I see one of two things happening:
1. Judge shopping for an appropriate appeal venue
or
2. Damn I can't find the link! It involved shutting down a lawsuit under the guise of preventing national security. Apparently a 'priveledge available to the executive.
Either way I don't see Ashcroft or Muller answering a damn thing.
I hope I'm wrong.
