23. It might also be harder to use states secrets in criminal cases...

Which is why if there are any folks that have the goods on Scooter Libby, they should step forward now to try and testify to Patrick Fitzgerald. Ann Beeson, Sibel's ACLU lawyer, noted this in the Supreme Court Preview session on CSPAN back in September. There are other laws that cover criminal cases that are used to protect secret info, and they might be harder to use to dismiss an entire case instead of just the evidence itself. Perhaps even Fitzgerald can call Sibel herself with this technicality, since he's conducting a criminal investigation.
