Supreme Court to Rule on Whether C.I.A. Black Sites Are State Secrets

WASHINGTON โ€” The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether the government can block a detainee at Guantรกnamo Bay from obtaining information from two former C.I.A. contractors involved in torturing him on the ground that it would expose state secrets.

The detainee, known as Abu Zubaydah, sought to subpoena the contractors, James E. Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, in connection with a Polish criminal investigation. The inquiry was prompted by a determination by the European Court of Human Rights that Mr. Zubaydah had been tortured in 2002 and 2003 at so-called black sites operated by the C.I.A., including one in Poland.

Mr. Zubaydah was the first prisoner held by the C.I.A. after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, to undergo so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, which were based on a list of suggestions drawn up for use on him by Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Jessen, both psychologists.

Dr. Mitchell has testified that he and Dr. Jessen, who had experience with an Air Force program that taught pilots how to resist torture, were hired by the C.I.A. to consult on the interrogation of Mr. Zubaydah. They were ultimately assigned to carry out the techniques on him in the summer of 2002.

The Government of New Brunswick has launched a webpage dedicated to providing updates on a mysterious neurological disease that's so far infected 47 people and killed six.

 

The webpage, https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/ocmoh/cdc/neuro_cluster.html which is part of the gnb.ca website, was lunched [SIC] Tuesday and provides an overview of the province's investigation into the cause of the disease, the symptoms it causes and the cases that have been detected so far.

 

"Since early 2020, physicians in New Brunswick have been identifying a number of individuals with an unusual combination of neurological symptoms," says the site.

 

"Despite extensive medical investigation, a diagnosis for these individuals has not yet been determined."
