US Judge Orders Preservation of CIA Torture Report
Washington-U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth issued the order Wednesday, of the report that describes the abuses and tortures that the CIA gave to those suspected of being terrorrists.
Lamberth also ordered the preservation of the CIA response to the report and all documents mentioned in the report opening the posibility of future declasification of its content.
Lamberth also ordered that the report be deposited with a court security officer, which raises the possibility it could eventually be released as a court record. He took these actions
at the request of lawyers for Abd al-Rahim Al-Nashiri, who was subjected to waterboarding while in CIA custody.
Several lawmakers asked President Barack Obama in recent months to incorporate the full, nearly 7,000-page report into the records of federal agencies and to order its declassification.
He declined that request earlier this month but did make the full report a presidential record, which could ease release of the report eventually according to Politico.com.
Nevertheless Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, who chaired the committee that wrote the report insists in it being made public.
