NEW YORK — A judge cited national security concerns in ruling Wednesday that the CIA does not have to release hundreds of documents related to the destruction of videotapes of Sept. 11 detainee interrogations that used harsh methods.

"The need to keep confidential just how the CIA and other government agencies obtained their information is manifest, and that has to do with the identities of the people who gave information and who were questioned to obtain information," the judge said from the bench.

Wow! I’m amazed that there is actually a judge that has common sense and is respectful of the need to not reveal subject matter to the world from the US agencies that help keep the country safe. .....Good on ya, judge!
This judge doesn’t realize it, but he just took the first step down the path to the guillotine.
But good on him for reaching the right decision in this case and for having the courage to actually enter this decision.
