The CIA told a federal court on Monday that it would not turn over a slew of documents related to the George W. Bush administration's controversial detainee interrogation program.
Last week, the Justice Department released a redacted CIA report from 2004, and hundreds of pages of other records, that had been sought by the American Civil Liberties Union in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation. That material fueled calls by Democrats and liberal activists for a full investigation of the interrogation program.
But the administration on Monday told New York district judge Alvin K. Hellerstein that it would not hand over other records related to the interrogation program, which critics say amounted to torture.
