Conservative Judge Argues Bush Adminstration Lacks Credibility
President Bush and other administration officials have argued that
their secret wiretapping of American citizens was justified by the
Authorization for the Use of Military Force passed by Congress in the
days after 9/11. Today, one of the most respected conservative
appellate judges in the nation – Micheal Luttig – delivered fresh
evidence for why the administration’s use of the 9/11 Authorization
cannot be trusted.
The issue before Luttig was whether to grant the Bush Administration’s
request to dismiss an earlier opinion which gave the government broad
authority to detain “enemy combatants” like terrorism suspect Jose
Padilla.
Why would the administration want to curtail a decision that gave the
President such broad authority? That’s the question that troubled the
Court because the administration refused to provide an answer.
Luttig’s opinion offers a clear insight into what the Administration
thinks of checks and balances:
[The Bush Administration] provided no explanation as to what
comprised the asserted exigency.
…
We are not in a position to ascertain … because the government has
not explained its decisions either publicly or to the court.
…
The government has not offered explanation.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales once hailed the Court’s prior
Padilla ruling as providing the necessary presidential authority to
protect “American citizens from the very kind of savage attack that
took place [on 9/11].” Without a sufficient explanation for why the
administration would now want to vacate that opinion, the Court was
left to draw the conclusion that the administration lacks credibility
on issues of executive power:
[The Bush Administration’s] actions have left not only the
impression that Padilla may have been held for these years, even if
justifiably, by mistake [but also] they have left the impression that
the government may even have come to the belief that the principle in
reliance upon which it has detained Padilla for this time…can, in the
end, yield to expediency with little or no cost to its conduct of the
war against terror … And these impressions have been left, we fear, at
what may ultimately prove to be substantial cost to the government’s
credibility before the courts.

File the Bin Laden Phone Leak Under 'Urban Myths'
By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 22, 2005; A02
President Bush asserted this week that the news media published a U.S.
government leak in 1998 about Osama bin Laden's use of a satellite
phone, alerting the al Qaeda leader to government monitoring and
prompting him to abandon the device.
The story of the vicious leak that destroyed a valuable intelligence
operation was first reported by a best-selling book, validated by the
Sept. 11 commission and then repeated by the president.
But it appears to be an urban myth.
The al Qaeda leader's communication to aides via satellite phone had
already been reported in 1996 -- and the source of the information was
another government, the Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan at the time.
The second time a news organization reported on the satellite phone,
the source was bin Laden himself.
Causal effects are hard to prove, but other factors could have
persuaded bin Laden to turn off his satellite phone in August 1998. A
day earlier, the United States had fired dozens of cruise missiles at
his training camps, missing him by hours.
Bush made his assertion at a news conference Monday, in which he
defended his authorization of warrantless monitoring of communications
between some U.S. citizens and suspected terrorists overseas. He fumed
that "the fact that we were following Osama bin Laden because he was
using a certain type of telephone made it into the press as the result
of a leak." He berated the media for "revealing sources, methods and
what we use the information for" and thus helping "the enemy" change
its operations.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Monday that the president
was referring to an article that appeared in the Washington Times on
Aug. 21, 1998, the day after the cruise missile attack, which was
launched in retaliation for the bombings of two U.S. embassies in
Africa two weeks earlier. The Sept. 11 commission also cited the
article as "a leak" that prompted bin Laden to stop using his
satellite phone, though it noted that he had added more bodyguards and
began moving his sleeping place "frequently and unpredictably" after
the missile attack.
Two former Clinton administration officials first fingered the Times
article in a 2002 book, "The Age of Sacred Terror." Daniel Benjamin
and Steven Simon wrote that after the "unabashed right-wing newspaper"
published the story, bin Laden "stopped using the satellite phone
instantly" and "the United States lost its best chance to find him."
The article, a profile of bin Laden, buried the information about his
satellite phone in the 21st paragraph. It never said that the United
States was listening in on bin Laden, as the president alleged. The
writer, Martin Sieff, said yesterday that the information about the
phone was "already in the public domain" when he wrote the story.
A search of media databases shows that Time magazine had first
reported on Dec. 16, 1996, that bin Laden "uses satellite phones to
contact fellow Islamic militants in Europe, the Middle East and
Africa." Taliban officials provided the information, with one official
-- security chief Mulla Abdul Mannan Niazi -- telling Time, "He's in
high spirits."
The day before the Washington Times article was published -- and the
day of the attacks -- CNN producer Peter Bergen appeared on the
network to talk about an interview he had with bin Laden in 1997.
"He communicates by satellite phone, even though Afghanistan in some
levels is back in the Middle Ages and a country that barely
functions," Bergen said.
Bergen noted that as early as 1997, bin Laden's men were very
concerned about electronic surveillance. "They scanned us
electronically," he said, because they were worried that anyone
meeting with bin Laden "might have some tracking device from some
intelligence agency." In 1996, the Chechen insurgent leader Dzhokhar
Dudayev was killed by a Russian missile that locked in to his
satellite phone signal.
That same day, CBS reported that bin Laden used a satellite phone to
give a television interview. USA Today ran a profile of bin Laden on
the same day as the Washington Times's article, quoting a former U.S.
official about his "fondness for his cell phone."
It was not until Sept. 7, 1998 -- after bin Laden apparently stopped
using his phone -- that a newspaper reported that the United States
had intercepted his phone calls and obtained his voiceprint. U.S.
authorities "used their communications intercept capacity to pick up
calls placed by bin Laden on his Inmarsat satellite phone, despite his
apparent use of electronic 'scramblers,' " the Los Angeles Times
reported.
Officials could not explain yesterday why they focused on the
Washington Times story when other news organizations at the same time
reported on the satellite phone -- and that the information was not
particularly newsworthy.
"You got me," said Benjamin, who was director for counterterrorism on
the National Security Council staff at the time. "That was the
understanding in the White House and the intelligence community. The
story ran and the lights went out."
Lee H. Hamilton, vice chairman of the Sept. 11 commission, gave a
speech in October in which he said the leak "was terribly damaging."
Yesterday, he said the commission relied on the testimony of three
"very responsible, very senior intelligence officers," who he said
"linked the Times story to the cessation of the use of the phone." He
said they described it as a very serious leak.
But Hamilton said he did not recall any discussion about other news
outlets' reports. "I cannot conceive we would have singled out the
Washington Times if we knew about all of the reporting," he said.
A White House official said last night the administration was
confident that press reports changed bin Laden's behavior. CIA
spokesman Tom Crispell declined to comment, saying the question
involves intelligence sources and methods.
