Docs Still Maybe Withheld in CIA Torture Tapes Case

(The Intelligence Daily) -- Two weeks ago, the CIA said in court documents that it would not turn over documents to the ACLU related to the destruction of 92 interrogation videotapes because it would compromise the integrity of a special prosecutor’s criminal investigation into the matter.
