The courts take a much longer time to get to a result. If there is a challenge to the invocation of a national security exception and the government is trying to procure goods, and if they decide to hold off until that issue is resolved, they'll be holding off a lot longer with the courts than with the CITT. Timing is a big issue. The other issue is expertise. Frankly, the confidentiality regime with CITT is arguably easier to access, so it's easier to keep the process confidential. They do it every day with the majority of cases that come before them.
