January 29, 2008, 6:33pm (report abuse)Amazingly, this Kennedy bill seems to be a rather good balance of protection of Classified material and sources, and protection of civil liberties.
It provides for judicial review of classified evidence, redacted and unclassified summaries in lieu of full disclosure.
Overall, I see no real gotcha's. Amazing for Comrades Kennedy, Leahy and Specter.
