That wasn't because they gave him a security clearance - that was because, as the defendant in a trial, he has the legal right to see the evidence against him, and some of that evidence is classified. Apparently they have some sort of deal where he's not allowed to see the evidence himself, but his court-appointed lawyers are, which is still Constitutionally bogus, but they'd slipped up in the implementation.
