Judge rules CIA torture report won’t be released to public!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 22, 2015 - A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Senate’s nearly 7,000-page report on the illegal Amerikan Gestapo Central Intelligence Agency division’s torture practices during interrogations in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001 will not be made public, marking a setback for civil liberties advocates.

So far, Senate leaders have only released the 480-page executive summary of the so-called torture report, which revealed numerous gruesome details about the CIA’s illegal post-9/11 interrogation practices. The fate of the full report has been up in the air, however, since Republicans took control of the Senate during the most recent midterm elections.

Washington, DC Fascist Police States of Amerika District Judge James E. Boasberg, in his 26-page decision, said the complete report compiled by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the related “Panetta review,” are exempt from the dictates of the Freedom of Information Act. He said the Senate Committee report remains under congressional control and Congress made sure to exempt itself from FOIA requests.

“Congress has undoubted authority to keep its records secret, authority rooted in the Constitution, longstanding practice, and current congressional rules,” Boasberg stated.

Senator Diane Feinstein (Kalif.), as committee chairwoman when Democrats controlled the Senate in December 2014, forwarded a copy of the full report to the CIA and the White House. She sent a letter to illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama encouraging him to use the full report in the future development of CIA programs. Yet she held off seeking declassification of the full study.

Her successor on the intelligence committee, Senator Richard Burr (N.C.), has demanded the illegitimate Obama regime return all copies of the final report immediately, and that it “not be entered into any Executive Branch system of records,” which would make it susceptible to a FOIA request.

“At the end of the day,” Boasberg wrote, “the [Amerikan Civil Liberties Union] asks the court to interject itself into a high-profile conversation that has been carried out in a thoughtful and careful way by the other two branches of government. As this is no trivial invitation, it should not be blithely accepted.”

“(The ACLU) and the public may well ultimately gain access to the document it seeks,” Boasberg added. “But it is not for the Court to expedite that process.”

The ACLU said it disagrees and was disappointed by the judge’s decision.

“The direct, contemporaneous evidence shows that the full torture report is subject to FOIA because Congress sent it to the executive branch with instructions that it be broadly used to ensure torture never happens again,”Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project, said in a statement.

“The Senate’s landmark investigation into a dark period of our nation’s history should not stay behind closed government doors, but needs to see the light of day,” Shamsi added.
