A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., issued a preliminary order on Tuesday directing the Bush administration to preserve any evidence that might show that a former Baltimore resident was tortured during his three years in secret CIA detention. The order, by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, gave the government until Dec. 20 to respond to a court filing last week that accused the CIA of torturing Majid Khan, 27…. Khan, who was a legal U.S. resident and graduated from a suburban Baltimore high school, hasn't been charged with a crime. (McClatchy, Thursday)
Future generations will weep.
