Hey guys - here you can find the link to the article in the LA Times detailing the case Mohamed vs. Jeppesen Dataplan Inc. The case deals with five men who were abucted in the CIA Extraordinary Rendition program and held for years in secret black sites by the CIA. These men alledge that they were tortured and the Bush administration and now the Obama administration have claimed that the information in the case (apparently including the information of what was done to the men while they were imprisoned) should be considered States Secrets and therefore not allowed into the courtroom.
This is an important issuse that is directly connected with the Bush doctrine but more importantly it is directly connected to the CIA's illegal and inhumane practice of Rendition which has been going on since the Clinton Administration.
