The CIA says it cannot turn over more details of its interrogations of terror suspects without spilling classified government secrets.
A long-secret report released last week shed new light on alleged CIA abuses. The spy agency faced a Monday court deadline to turn over more papers, but the agency responded by telling the federal judge in the case that dozens of remaining documents must stay secret.
The American Civil Liberties Union has sought the documents as part of a long-running lawsuit seeking information about the U.S. government's antiterror program.
The civil rights group criticized the CIA's position, saying it contradicts President Obama's policies on counterterror measures and transparency in government.
Attorney General Eric Holder last week appointed federal prosecutor John Durham to look into abuse allegations after the release of an internal CIA inspector general's report that revealed agency interrogators once threatened to kill a Sept. 11 suspect's children and suggested another would be forced to watch his mother be sexually assaulted.

EXCUSE ME while I vomit! The ACLU critizes the CIA for contradicting Zero’s policies on transparency? These ACLU people are real live, walking, talking anal sphincters! WHEN has this upside down, twisted, unconstitutional imposter of a potus ever been transparent since he’s been in office? Does he think his photo op showing 1 minute chest hair was his way of being transparent?
To those who are trying to keep us safe in the C.I.A. :
We thank you for keeping us safe and sacrificing your lives, and time in a selfless endeavorer to keep us safe and free and us citizens are on your side and cheering for you.

Well stated!
Ping!
Whew! We will be safer because the CIA than we ever will be with Obortion Obama and his czars.
So let Obama handle it. Wait....Obama will say nothing but "present." Never mind.
FUBO! Yeah baby!!!
LLS
Cry me a freaking river!!!
We are fighting people who will MURDER US and we are worrying about 'threatening' and 'suggesting' that we MIGHT do something to them?!
Exactly!
I want the CIA to leak what they know about Obama, where he was born,his various nationalisties, etc.
Just say no. That’s what we all need to do: companies, doctors, individuals.
Personally, I think his appointment, and the man himself, are a disgrace, and so is the rest of the Obama administration, especially the big cheese himself. Politicians of Obama's ilk have always had a venomous hostility to the CIA and all of America's defense assets, so what we see now is certainly in keeping with their governing philosophy.
As far as I'm concerned this is high treason because they're providing moral support and doing things that materially benefit enemies of our nation. When Roosevelt ceded Eastern Europe to the Soviets, that was realpolitik. This is something else entirely.
Who will bring them to justice?
I’m in complete agreement with you here. I know the head guy is a dem friend of Zero’s...but what about those at lower levels, those with enough security clearance to get their hands on this stuff. I would love it if they leaked it & we could get rid of this despicable potus & his moron wife!
Ping!
If any of those 3 initial agencies read what you wrote the first time, they would get it, straight on, like everyone here does.
Your thoughts are far reaching & well stated!
Probably the main reason that little sissy, Leon Panetta, went running back to California. He didn’t want to get his skirts dirty on this one.
