Introducing the 'State Secrets' Drinking Game http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

We reported Friday of a three-hour hearing in San Francisco federal court in which the Justice Department repeatedly invoked the state secrets privilege and demanded U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White dismiss a lawsuit accusing the government of siphoning Americans' electronic communications from willing telecoms and funneling them to the National Security Agency without warrants. As it turns out, the San Francisco federal court produced two, roughly 90-minute videos of the hearing as part of a pilot project. So in the holiday spirit of things, we are posting the videos here so they may be enjoyed as a reason to drink. With friends and family, imbibe your beverage of choice every time any of the courtroom participants utters "state secrets."
