Top court won't hear appeal in CIA torture case

...A federal judge and then a U.S. appeals court dismissed the lawsuit because it threatened to expose government secrets,....



I can understand that a government likes to hide its crimes anyway. Many criminals like to do

this. The question is if it can do it.

It is also a question of democracy and of justice.

Related to the last two questions Americas leading institutions involved in this case show

certainly a poor performance. There are other countries who do not behave

much better but America claims a leading role and so it does not fit in such.

The richest nation likes to torture but does not like to pay for its misdeeds.

This is good way to sort itself out of being acceptable as a world leader. But it probably does not

mind this as it is too strong for anyone and can play this role independent from behavior.

And this is a problem the world faces.
