FISA Court Won't Release Eavesdropping Documents

An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:

The nation's spy court said Tuesday that it will not make public its documents regarding the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in a rare public opinion, said the public has no right to view the documents because they deal with the clandestine workings of national security agencies.

The American Civil Liberties Union asked the court to release the records in August. Specifically, the organization asked for the government's legal briefs and the court's opinions on the wiretapping program.
