At the time nothing was leaked.
It's always "after the fact".
Hindsight is 20/20. The issue is today. Do you believe what the government tells you today or will you wait for 50+ years for government records to be released ?
For 42 years the government denied they used census bureau confidential data to round up Japanese Americans. In 2007 the Commerce Dept came clean.
I guess it depends what it is. My dad was CIA 40 years ago and his records are still not released. Sometimes things just need to be released after the fact.
yes; it appear the secret searches a start seven years go.it appear that both administration did it. That is what is so disturbing its gone on seven years secretly. if it has been known it was part of what passed I think by now it would have been challenged in court. it also seems the leadership of both parties knew and some say the entire congress knew it.Its as if they have the by partisanship many seem to want which isn't always good as we see. Democrats got to slam Bush then many voted for it to spin and others keep their mouth shuts and Obama continued it. Take that with the IRS targeting and other scandals and it seems they have decided that supreme court does not have to be followed as to constitutionality of searches. CIA records are quite different form this. CIA can not even operate within US border. That is the FBI job on counter intelligence. Seems you father taught you little about that. Like anything your father did if not outside country is not spying but perhaps just administration type which is legal.

My father taught me nothing about his work...he couldn't. We didn't even know he was CIA until after he retired. And even then he couldn't talk about it. He did allude to certain things he was involved in. It's fascinating what he knew
This government has always done exactly what they pleased. Remember bombing other countries just because we did not like their associates? We have messed with crops in other countries and said their grapes or whatever were not fit to eat in order to create havoc and control their government. Anybody who would do it under the guise of protecting the nation, would do it to citizens of their own.

I'd say way after the fact because the outrage from citizens would be huge.
Let it sit on the shelf for 40-50 years and by then people won't care.
The government just admitted in 2007 that they used confidential census bureau data to round up the Japanese Americans for the internment camps.
I'm not at all happy with it, and I'm not happy with alot of things that Pres. Obama is doing, as are many others who voted for him.
We are immensely happy that we voted for him and not his opponent, as that would have increased such malfeasance ten fold had Mittens won the Presidency.
I did not vote at all because both were terrible choices. I am done picking the lesser of two evils.

Didn't the government's Warren Commission decide to not release details of the Kennedy assassination for 50 years. I thought at the time that I'd be a really old woman when we finally found out everything. Now that I am a really old woman, my inquiring mind still wants to know. Must have missed it.

I love Earl Warren. He's a hero to me and the giant of all giants to me relative to Americans of the 20th Century.
But I will always consider his commission's findings to be farcical at best. How anyone can take that report seriously goes way the hell over my head.
