CIA acknowledges 2 interrogation memos (but keeps lots of other stuff secret)

Here's another new item from my "sunshine is the best disinfectant" file:

Kudos to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). And thank goodness that we still have the Freedom of Information Act. (Knock on wood.)

As a result of an ACLU lawsuit, according to an article in yesterday's Washington Post, more than 100,000 pages of classified documentation have been released "including some that revealed internal debates over the policies governing prisoners held at the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."

Other documentation continues to be withheld, because it's "so sensitive", or whatever. (Too incriminating, perhaps?)

So now that we're starting to gain access to this kind of documentation, hopefully the new Congress will use it as a starting point for some serious official investigation into the Bush administration's gross violations of the human rights of detainees. And hopefully this will result in the new Congress holding all guilty parties accountable -- as far up the chain of command as necessary.
