Judge Allows Former Detainees To Sue CIA For Torture
A U.S. District Court Judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit against CIA military psychologists who developed the government’s infamous torture program, under direction of former President George W. Bush. Judge Justin Quackenbush’s decision to allow former detainees to proceed with their case is a huge step forward in holding the American government accountable for its controversial torture program – which resulted in the torture of at least 119 men between 2002 and 2008.
