ACLU Loses Bid for FOIA Release of CIA Interrogation Documents
The ACLU argued information about unauthorized techniques could not be classified and exempt for national security. A judge disagreed
The ACLU won't get information on unauthorized interrogation techniques allegedly used by CIA agent on suspects captured in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a federal judge ruled.
The group sued the federal agency for refusing to release the records under the Freedom of Information Act. According to the ruling, the records are composed of reports written by the CIA Office of the Inspector General "relating to the detention, interrogation, or treatment of individuals apprehended after Sept. 11, 2001, and held at detention facilities outside the United States."
