Headline Redacted

There's a document in Seattle today that the Seattle Times makes out to be some kind of Dead Sea Scrolls of illegal wiretapping. This is a document so secure that Portland, where the trial that's making use of it is occuring, has no facility staunch enough to house it. A special secure facility could be constructed, but that could cost millions of dollars and take months to achieve, so the document's headed to Seattle where there apparently is such a facility but don't even wonder to yourself where it might be because the NSA's little-known thought-tapping program will find you and disappear you. Seriously, it's that secure. We shouldn't even be telling you this.

King expressed hope that he and others could consult with security experts and "the originator" of the document "to see if something less secure would be satisfactory."

Coppolino told King that editing the document wouldn't be possible "without redactions of the document to the point where the content wouldn't be — would not be understandable."

The document relates to a Portland-based lawsuit challenging Bush's wiretapping program and it's headed to Seattle. You already know too much.
