We Can Be Arrested And Tried For Breaking Laws We Don't Know Exist By Tom Burnett 5-26-11 -
- "You are under arrest."
-
- "For what?"
-
- "It's a secret. You have already been tried and convicted."
-
- "By who?!?!?"
-
- "It's a secret. You are going to be executed at midnight."
-
- "EXECUTED?!?!?!?"
-
- "Yeah. I'll bet you wish you didn't do whatever it is you did."
-
- "Wait! Don't YOU know?"
-
- "No one knows. It's a secret law."

- SEN. WYDEN DECRIES "SECRET LAW" ON PATRIOT ACT
-
- An amendment offered on May 24 by Sen. Ron Wyden would have challenged the Administration's reliance on what he called "secret law" and required the Attorney General to explain the legal basis for its intelligence collection activities under the USA PATRIOT Act. But that and other proposed amendments to the PATRIOT Act have been blocked in the Senate.
-
- "The public will be surprised... when they learn about some of the interpretations of the PATRIOT Act," Sen. Wyden said, based on his access to classified correspondence between the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee.

-
- "U.S. Government officials should not secretly reinterpret public laws and statutes in a manner that is inconsistent with the public's understanding of these laws or describe the execution of these laws in a way that misinforms or misleads the public."
-
- "We can have honest and legitimate disagreements about exactly how broad intelligence collection authorities ought to be, and members of the public do not expect to know all of the details about how those authorities are used," Sen. Wyden said. "But I hope each Senator would agree that the law itself should not be kept secret and that the government should always be open and honest with the American people about what the law means."
-
- But the Senate moved toward cloture on reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act provisions and the Wyden amendment, which was co-sponsored by several Senate colleagues, was not permitted to be offered or to be voted upon.
-
- The House Judiciary Committee issued a report last week on the reauthorization of surveillance provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act, with a lengthy dissent from the minority members of the Committee. See "FISA Sunsets Reauthorization Act of 2011," House Report 112-79, part 1, May 18, 2011:
