The article mentions the State Secrets Privilege as a reason the government can get away without judicial oversight by claiming national security interests.

It is worth noting that the case which established the judicial concept of the state secrets privilege after a ruling by the SCOTUS turned out to be 100% corrupt. When the documents were declassified 40 years later it was discovered that they did contain evidence of wrong-doing by the military but had only the most tenuous claim to national security ("an aircraft capable of dropping bombs").

So the entire doctrine in use here has been one big fraud from the very start.
