CIA seeks time on response to interrogation report

WASHINGTON
The CIA asked a federal judge Thursday in Washington for more time to declassify its still-secret response to a Senate intelligence report on harsh interrogation techniques used on terror detainees as well as a separate review ordered by former agency director Leon Panetta.
Justice Department lawyers representing the intelligence agency filed a motion urging U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg to lift a May 22 deadline in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union seeking copies of the two classified reports.
Already in the process of declassifying a 500-page summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the harsh techniques, the CIA said it will need more time to similarly review the other two documents. President Barack Obama said in April that he wanted the report made public quickly.
But government lawyers said in their motion only that the CIA would be able to provide a timetable by June 20 and hoped to have the materials available at some point this summer.

The CIA has been trying trying to figure out since 2011 how to spin their torture.
