Judge Allows CIA, FBI Secrecy on Rendition -- News from Antiwar.com

A judge in Washington, DC has allowed the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency to keep information secret regarding the complicity of British authorities in extraordinary rendition.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition –  an activist group of British Members of Parliament – inquired through Freedom of Information requests about the release of documents, but US law says such requests can be denied to anyone representing a foreign government.
The judge’s decision comes amid fresh reports of US-UK cooperation on the extraordinary rendition – the process whereby the government sends terror suspects off to the custody of authoritarian states to be tortured – with the former Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi.
