TYT: Former Detainees Sue CIA Torture Doctors

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Ten months after the Senate released its report on the CIA’s illegal torture program, the ACLU is getting involved. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Three former CIA detainees are suing over being tortured at the agency's infamous "black sites," the first suit to seek accountability in a U.S. court for the CIA's tactics since the Senate Intelligence Committee released the executive summary of its groundbreaking torture report. But the ex-detainees aren't suing the CIA.

They’re suing the pair that sold the spies the program.”*

1. Not the only reason, but one of the bigger reasons why they won't release the innocent

detainees who were cleared for release many years ago. There will be legal backlash from torturing innocent people and they want to be able to diffuse each outrageous case slowly, on a case by case basis, rather than being hit with a storm of torture stories being revealed to the public all at once.

I also anticipate that there are some real doozy stories that they are forestalling as long as they can while they plan their damage control and hope the person dies before they are released.
