The "Saudi State Secrets" privilege?

Mark Kleiman has a great post up on "the continuing Saudi-American coverup of 9/11." You should read the whole thing, which begins like this:

So the Justice Department continues to support the legal position of the Saudi government that (1) the families of the 9/11 victims can't sue various Saudi parties they claim were accessories to the crime; and (2) some of the evidence, which is classified, shouldn't be made public.

Not something I remember hearing about in any detail, which is a pity. Fortunately, our vigilant media are doggedly publicizing this story chasing GOP adulterers.
