To the Editor:

    A.G. Holder's intervention is prima facia evidence that the official line--that "[United Against Nuclear Iran] is not affiliated with the government"--is a lie. Rather, it looks like a propaganda front of our own government turned on the electorate.

    From the first, the States Secrets doctrine has been used not to keep us safe, but to keep our government safe from proper public scrutiny of its embarrassing behavior. It needs to be revisited and rejected; it is not compatible with democratic governance.
