Supreme Court rules against Guantanamo detainee seeking info about his torture
CBSJUL 2022
The facts of Zubaydah's case are horrific and based off incorrect information assuming him to be a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda. America's attempt to reject and hide rather than make amends for what is widely recognized as a stain in the country's history is reprehensible. They must be held accountable.
SCOTUS isn't condoning torture; there are valid reasons for the government not wanting the CIA contractors to testify. Subjecting information about CIA detention centers and operations abroad to public review could have serious consequences for American intelligence agencies, deterring foreign nations from cooperating with them in the future.
