Update on ACLU's FOIA lawsuit

They got the FBI emails, but the CIA wasn't coughing up anything. Now a judge has ordered them (for the second time) to fork over documents concerning their internal investigation of prisoner "abuse". I could imagine that they might have been holding out to look good, but would be happy to offer up something that incriminates the White House. Of course, it's possible that all they have is self-incriminating documents.

How will it turn out? We'll just have to wait and see.

The U.S. government lost a bid Monday to block civil rights groups from obtaining CIA records of its internal investigation into abuse of detainees held by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a ruling from the bench, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied a government motion aimed at stopping an earlier order to turn over documents.
