Obama, Wire Tapping, State Secrets

If I remember correctly, we started this thing in part because of the original revelation of the secret wire-tapping by the Bush administration. The Obama administration, despite this claim, from his campaign website,
Secrecy Dominates Government Actions: The Bush administration has ignored public disclosure rules and has invoked a legal tool known as the "state secrets" privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court.

continues to assert the "state secrets" privilege in Jewel v. NSA. Here's a time-line.
