“Five men who allege they were tortured after a Boeing subsidiary delivered them to secret CIA interrogation sites will have to persuade a full panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that their case should go to trial despite administration claims that it involves state secrets. … A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit ruled April 28 that the case brought by British resident and then-Guantanamo detainee Binyam Mohamed and four other men could go to trial, rejecting assertions of both President Bush and President Obama that the lawsuit should be dismissed. The Justice Department asked the appeals court in June to reconsider the case ‘en banc,’ with 11 judges.” (10/28/09)
