Corrected wrong link.....

I have been waiting for years for this.

A federal court judge refused on Friday to drop a lawsuit against two psychologists who helped devise the C.I.A.’s interrogation program after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, clearing the way for the case to proceed to a trial in September.

The suit is one of the few attempts to hold people accountable for harm caused by the Central Intelligence Agency’s program in the years after the 2001 attacks.

The three plaintiffs had argued that they were detained and tortured in secret C.I.A. prisons using techniques designed by the two former military psychologists, who served as C.I.A. contractors. Most of the techniques used against the detainees have since been banned by the United States government.

2. Interesting. I thought they used SERE techniques on detainees.

Devising new techniques would be an interesting new level of involvement.

This trial will lead to the interesting discovery of information that will be made public.

I'll be surprised, though, if the DOJ memos don't protect them.

6. Groups pay this creep to speak?

I really hope there's a judgement against these two monsters. They were paid by us taxpayers. Outraged.
