C.I.A. Declines to Release Documents on Interrogations

WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency is refusing to make public hundreds of pages of internal documents about the agency’s defunct detention and interrogation program, saying such disclosures would jeopardize national security by revealing classified intelligence sources and operations.

The C.I.A.’s argument to withhold the material, laid out Monday in a declaration to a federal court in New York, comes a week after the Obama administration declassified documents about abuses in the C.I.A.’s secret overseas prisons and the Justice Department began investigating the actions of C.I.A. operatives.

The CIA should get some guts and relewase Obama’s Kenyan or Indonesian BC.

Here's an idea. They are declassified so the CIA could release sample packets containing details that would be irresistible to the reporters. And right in the middle of the packet, place a copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.

And it’s overturned by a judge.

Have a nice day. :D

or the papers showing he was adopted.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Why should the CIA be forced to release them. They contained the names of agents,methods of gathering information and locations of interrogation sites.Those are all classified information. I hope that the CIA continues the fight.

They only leak when (R)’s are in power. Convenient.

[RAO1125]

Has anybody considered the idea that this whole thing is staged in order to distract people from health care and the other garbage Obama is pushing? The CIA has always been liberal (or at least geared towards big government and centralized power). It would seem logical to me that if Obama was really going after the CIA, his birth certificate would’ve been leaked to a CIA front.
