CIA: No more interrogation secrets to be disclosed

WASHINGTON — The CIA says it cannot turn over more details of its interrogations of terror suspects without spilling classified government secrets.

A long-secret report released last week shed new light on alleged CIA abuses. The spy agency faced a Monday court deadline to turn over more papers, but the agency responded by telling the federal judge in the case that dozens of remaining documents must stay secret.

The American Civil Liberties Union has sought the documents as part of a long-running lawsuit seeking information about the U.S. government's antiterror program.

The civil rights group criticized the CIA's position, saying it contradicts President Barack Obama's policies on counterterrorism measures and transparency in government.

7. Yeah! Sure! Heard that before!

Why should the American people know what's going on? Do they really have a need to know? If they knew, the might not let us take total control of the world. (What the CIA seems to be thinking to itself). Don't they know that the American people are their bosses? Do you keep secrets from your boss at work? What happens when you try and your boss finds out? That's right. You lose your job.

If Bush is correct, the CIA goofed on the intelligence on Iraq -- placing us in the middle of a war that has cost our fortune for years to come.

And now, they claim that they don't have to tell us what they have done with regard to torture, etc.? I don't think this is going to work out very well for very long. I'm not going to do anything about it, but based on my experience in life, no secrets are kept forever. Even the secrets of the iron-fisted Kaiser Franz Josef of Austria are slowly emerging. And they were maintained on threat of death and worse.

Secrets are meant to be told. That is just human nature. Sooner or later, someone spills. Best to be open and do damage control as early as possible.

8. What their really saying is:

Give us more time to destroy or withold evidence, and manipulate the public though the old media. So a few years from now, most of you will forget and we can discredit the people who remember, as crackpots.



It's the same damn song! :wtf:

11. That shit'll kill you!!! Or so "Some People" say.

99.99% of people who die have some recent exposure to DiHydrogen MonOxide.

12. Cute misleading article title. Well, we'll declassify them then.

I feel a release a'com'n. Not the implication by title that there is no more to be released.

Consider as well, Amnesty International and PBS (for shows, like Bill Moyers Journal, that tell us what is going on).
