Secrecy & patented?

Almost all patents are publically available. The exception is when
related to national security. Any recent one should be available on
the patent website. http://www.uspto.gov/patft/

Is this just sloppy writing?

A patent may be opaquely or broadly described (IMHO), see for example
application 20020123988, assigned to Google.

An example of a patent assigned to Google is 6,982,945 Baseband direct
sequence spread spectrum transceiver. ???

Note that people get patents, which are often assigned to a corporation.
