Seem to remember something on the news about this, and the questions about the legality.
On the one hand you have the whole issue about the lack of oversight because everything was kept hush hush. The law on the issue is actually fairly direct in addressing this, and how it is a no-no.
At the same time there is a back door, where information is allowed to be withheld if it is considered sensitive, or ongoing. Granted this was Rick Sanchez showing the two codified statutes, explaining this to me as I lazily watched CNN during Sotomayer's recess. Maybe I'm completely offbase here.
I think RB was right in saying
