Anyone ever heard of an indictment being supressed in the

interest of National Security?

I have never heard of such a thing and do not know how it would be possible and have tried to think of a way that could be done to no avail. Can't think of a single situation where that has happened, but that doesn't mean anything.

and the FISA Court of Appeals is for.

5. Thanks, but it does not say anything with regard to suppression

of an indictment.

3. not I, but I'd not be surprised to hear of such (e.g. the FISA reply)

6. "The grand jury failed to hand down an indictment" are words rarely

seen in the newspaper. Grand juries indict whatever the DA asks them to indict.

If Rove doesn't get indicted, it'll be safe to assume suppression.

7. FBI

uses and have used this in numerous cases over the years including the 1993 world trade center bombings, and a few spy cases dating back to the 1950s. These are just some I remember off the top of my head. There are more I am sure

8. Well then they could suppress any indictments of upper eschelons of

government in any event, if this is actually the case.
