Federal prosecutors are trying to force the American Civil Liberties Union to turn over copies of a classified document it received from a source, using what legal experts called a new extension of the Bush administration’s efforts to protect national-security secrets.
The A.C.L.U.’s lawyers said in court papers filed Monday that such subpoenas, if upheld by the court, would pose a direct threat to journalists.

What I think as I read this article is, firstly the Title shoulda been "U.S. Subpoena is a bid to cover Bush's Ass"!
Secondly, I thought yeah right! Another Freedom going down the drain! Bush is looking more and more like a Paranoid Dictator, but then again he can show his true colors now that he only has 2 years left in Office,,nothing really to lose at this point!
