Sad, though not surprising.
From Mother Jones:
Obama administration wins the right to invoke "State Secrets" to shield Bush's torture/rendition crimes from judicial review.
ACLU comment:
This is a sad day not only for the torture victims whose attempt to seek justice has been extinguished, but for all Americans who care about the rule of law and our nation's reputation in the world. To date, not a single victim of the Bush administration's torture program has had his day in court. If today's decision is allowed to stand, the United States will have closed its courtroom doors to torture victims while providing complete immunity to their torturers. The torture architects and their enablers may have escaped the judgment of this court, but they will not escape the judgment of history.

That's not "change we can believe in."
