CIA 'torture' lawsuit thrown out
by triddle on Thu May 25, 2006 4:00 pm
From the BBC:

Quote:
Khaled el-Masri aimed to sue former CIA chief George Tenet and other officials for their alleged role in the "extraordinary rendition" programme.

Mr el-Masri says he was picked up in Macedonia in 2003 and flown to Kabul, Afghanistan, where he alleges torture.

The judge did not rule on the truth of the allegations, but said letting the case proceed might endanger security.


The judge in this instance is refusing to hear the case because it might expose some state secrets. Considering the practice of extraordinary rendition is illegal on its own merits, I think the judge refuses to hear the case because it might provide some legal basis for prosecuting the Bush Administration.
