US civil rights group to sue CIA

[DoYouEverWonder]

3 December 2005

A US civil rights groups says it is taking the CIA to court to stop the transportation of terror suspects to countries outside US legal authority.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says the intelligence agency has broken both US and international law.

It is acting for a man allegedly flown to a secret CIA prison in Afghanistan.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she'll comment on recent reports of alleged CIA prisons abroad before starting a visit to Europe on Monday.

Ms Rice has said she will provide an answer to a EU letter expressing concern over reports last month alleging the US intelligence agency was using secret jails - particularly in eastern Europe.

10. Here Here ! The Joint Resolution authorizing this fiasco in Iraq

by Congress was unconstitutional. Congress can't abdicate its discretion in war powers.

"As he (Bush) determines" Sec. 3 (a) of
Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021002-2.html

and under Sec. 3 (c) the War Powers Act of 1973 was violated since the situations and circumstances the act requires are to be truthful, not fictional situations and circumstances (ya think ?).

7. Screw that, sue their boss instead. I am sure he can put up his

Texas ranch for money to launch a failed defense.
