"Feds want secrecy over alleged torture flights"

"Feds want secrecy over alleged torture flights": Today in The San Francisco Chronicle, Bob Egelko has an article that begins, "The Obama administration increased its defense Friday of secrecy surrounding an alleged CIA program of torture flights, asking a federal appeals court to set aside its ruling allowing foreign captives to sue a Bay Area company that reportedly helped plan the flights."

The Associated Press reports that "Feds ask court to reconsider CIA renditions suit."

And at "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has a post titled "New claim of 'state secrets' doctrine." You can access the federal government's petition for rehearing en banc at this link.
