#1 Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks the ACLU was trying to get a handle on what the Bush administration was doing in terms of homeland security and responding to the attack. Jaffer helped with the legal work.

When he began the job in 2002, Ann Beeson, the associate legal director of the ACLU, approached him with the roughly 200-page Patriot Act. "I was sequestered for three weeks with it," he said. "And that was the beginning of our recent national security work."

Jaffer's office is neat, with photographs taken by him in India and the Middle East hanging on the walls, and a squash racquet tossed in the corner.

#3 Under this decision, those rulings may remain secret forever.

Well, if it keeps terrorists dying and not killing Americans, I can live with that. Also, if it keeps information out of your little dick beaters to try to protect said terrorists, then that is a good thing.
