Jessalyn Radack's latest column: The Justice Department's Litigation Security Group and Its Ethics Violations in the Al-Haramain Case
http://writ.news.findlaw.com/commentary/20080508_radack.html

Ms. Radack's stunning article conclusion reminds us of the standard between legitimate and abusive government inquiry: "In sum, there are well-established and fairer procedures that could have been used in the Al-Haramain case. Yet the U.S government decided not to use them. The fact that this is a state-secrets case is no excuse. The state secrets privilege is supposed to protect national security, not serve as an end-run around basic legal ethics that undermines the integrity of the legal process."

On Monday morning, as part of Whistleblower Week in Washington, Radack is moderating a panel on secret surveillance featuring Eric Lichtblau, who won the Pulitizer Prize for breaking the story.
