"Judge Allows Civil Lawsuit Over Claims of Torture"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Judge Allows Civil Lawsuit Over Claims of Torture": Sunday in The New York Times, John Schwartz will have an article that begins, "The decision issued late Friday by a judge in San Francisco allowing a civil lawsuit to go forward against a former Bush administration official, John C. Yoo, might seem like little more than the removal of a procedural roadblock. But lawyers for the man suing Mr. Yoo, Jose Padilla, say it provides substantive interpretation of constitutional issues for all detainees and could have a broad impact."

Today in The San Francisco Chronicle, Bob Egelko has an article headlined "Judge: Ex-Bush lawyer can be sued over torture."

And The Associated Press reports that "Judge rules terrorist can sue over torture memos."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California at this link (via "Constitutional Law Prof Blog").
