WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's spy court said
Tuesday that it will not make public documents
regarding the Bush administration's warrantless
wiretapping program.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in
a rare public opinion, said the public has no
right to view the documents because they deal
with the clandestine workings of national
security agencies.

The American Civil Liberties Union asked the court
to release the records in August.

Writing for the court, U.S. District Judge John D.
Bates refused.

“The identification of targets and methods of
surveillance would permit adversaries to evade
surveillance, conceal their activities, and
possibly mislead investigators through false
information,” Bates said.
