Enough was enough. Badgered by an ongoing FOIA lawsuit from the ACLU, the CIA has turned over some eighteen heavily-redacted documents regarding the treatment of overseas detainees and prisoners held in US custody. Here's a glimpse of one:
Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project, says:
Even a cursory glance at these heavily-redacted documents shows that the CIA is still withholding a great deal of information that should be released.
What's more:
This information is being withheld not for legitimate security reasons but rather to shield government officials who ought to be held accountable for their decisions to break the law.
