The Washington Post<\/a>‘s Peter Finn writes this morning about some lawyers investigating detainee abuse at Guantanamo who showed their clients pictures of CIA agents in an attempt to ID perpetrators of the alleged abuse. Some agents were pictured outside of their homes.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken by researchers hired by the John Adams Project, a joint effort of the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, to support military counsel at Guantanamo Bay, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the inquiry. It was unclear whether the Justice Department is also examining those organizations. <\/p>\n

Both groups have long said that they will zealously investigate the CIA’s interrogation program at “black sites” worldwide as part of the defense of their clients.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s kind of odd, because the ACLU was pretty upset at the supposed “outing” of Valerie Plame by the Bush Administration<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The ACLU\/SC board urges the House of Representatives to investigate impeachable offenses by the President and Vice President, including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Manipulating intelligence before the Iraq War and deceiving the American people about imminent threats they faced. \u2022 Authorizing the torture of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other military prisons and handing over suspects to other nations who tortured them (a practice known as “extraordinary rendition”). \u2022 Authorizing the firing of federal prosecutors for political reasons and obstructing justice by defying Congressional subpoenas investigating the firing. \u2022 Authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without warrants and in violation of the Constitution, and concealing the program from Congress and the public. \u2022 Conspiring to disclose the name of Valerie Plame, a covert agent in the Central Intelligence Agency. This action risked her life and the lives of her intelligence contacts.<\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now they’re showing CIA agents’ pictures in front of their homes to honest-to-goodness terrorists? Why, that seems a bit hypocritical doesn’t it? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
