Supreme Secrecy

January 16, 2004

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal of the Bush Administration's secret detention of more than a thousand people in the weeks following September 11th. The decision represented a defeat for several groups who had sued for access to information about the detainees, some of whom were charged with immigration violations, and many of whom were deported. Bob discusses the case and its implications with Lyle Denniston, Supreme Court reporter for the Boston Globe.
