FBI threatens torture, attempts cover-up
October 31st, 2007
Valtin at Daily Kos provides additional details on the story of the FBI threatening to have a suspect’s family tortured in Egypt in order to get a confession. The brief documenting the torture was briefly posted online then removed and replaced with a redacted version. The court claimed the redactions were to protect the suspect. Not surprisingly, they were rather to protect the FBI by hiding the accounts of the torture.
Valtin has excerpts from both briefs, illustrating what officials were trying to hide. Go read it.
