Justice Dept. Looking Into Whether Attorneys Broke Law at Guantanamo - The Justice Department recently questioned military defense attorneys at Guantanamo Bay about whether photographs of CIA personnel, including covert officers, were unlawfully provided to detainees charged with organizing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to sources familiar with the investigation... The photos were taken by researchers hired by the John Adams Project, a joint effort of the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, to support military counsel at Guantanamo Bay, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the inquiry. It was unclear whether the Justice Department is also examining those organizations.

With Holder at Justice, I would be suprised if this gets any manpower applied to coming up with answers.
Whatever happened to hanging domestic enemies?
Isn’t there some law about disclosing the identity of agents in the field...
BTTT
Not when you are a lib I guess
Scooter went to jail for a non spy worker bee at Langley
“Foreign Enemies And Traitors.” Sounds just like the title of my new book.
I won't be the one giving comeuppances, but i’ll be applauding them.
Beware dangerous libs.
Is there some problem here?
Well put.
READ THIS.
Don’t just scroll past it.
Is it difficult to file a suit against the ACLU? What if 50 million people did it?
Sounds like some pothead lawyers have been watching HBO. How else would they have ever heard of John Adams or knew who he was. What a bunch of pukes. They are destroying American heroes one by one. Pigs!

Both groups have long said that they will zealously investigate the CIA’s interrogation program at “black sites” worldwide as part of the defense of their clients. But government investigators are now looking into whether the defense team went too far by allegedly showing the detainees the photos of CIA officers, in some cases surreptitiously taken outside their homes.”
Boy this makes the Valerie Plame case look trivial.
Oh wonderful! They are comparing giving a legal defense to soldiers lawfully (at the time) in this country and accused of murder to trying to get out of prison terrorists who never were in this country and by rights should have been given a court martial to determine that they were unlawful combatants and executed as such.
Exactly. When they close Gitmo and bring these people hear then we have eal problems. I am bot worried about escape it’s these lawers convincing a Judge to release them. Not so bad in a remote part of Cuba but in a major population area here is not good.
Your comment deserves additional emphasis:
