Obama Admin Seeks to Delay Release of CIA Prison Secrets, Torture Report

HeadlineMay 16, 2014

The Pentagon has appealed a ruling ordering the release of tightly held secrets about CIA prisons overseas. Last month, a military judge ordered the release of details about the treatment of Guantánamo prisoner and USS Cole bombing suspect Abd al-Nashiri. But military prosecutors want to wait at least until the release of the Senate report on CIA torture. Separately on Thursday, the Justice Department asked a federal court for more time for the CIA to review the Senate torture report, saying the review “will likely be completed this summer, although an exact time cannot now be determined.”
