Government stonewalls ACLU attempts
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO - A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the government is stonewailing attempts by the American Civil Liberties Union to acquire information about the government's secret no-fly list, which bars potential terrorists from boarding commercial flights.
The FBI, the Transportation Security Administration and other agencies have cited security concerns in not disclosing to the ACLU how two of its clients got on the list.

pending litigation.
The ACLU is asking the court to force the government to disclose how many people are on the list and how names get on or off it.
The government has even blacked out names of government officials in charge of the list, including the name of an FBI employee who was responsible for responding to inquiries from the public.
The list is meant to prevent potential terrorists from boarding planes. The TSA collects names from law enforcement officials and shares the list with airlines to
screen passengers.
The lawsuit was brought by Rebecca Gordon and Janet Adams, two San Francisco peace activists who publish War Times, a nationally distributed newsletter critical of the Bush administration.
They were stopped while checking in for a flight to Boston and were detained by authorities until cleared for travel.
After their lawsuit was filed last year, the TSA did not respond to their request, and the FBI said no files on the two existed.
