From the site:
After CIA Director Michael Hayden publicly admitted that the CIA has, in fact, waterboarded detainees, the agency could no longer cling to its last excuses for covering up the use of the very word “waterboarding” in CIA records. As a result, yesterday we obtained several heavily redacted documents in response to an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by the ACLU and other organizations seeking documents related to the treatment of prisoners in U.S. custody overseas.
Here it one of the docs:

I've always felt that by censoring documents obtained via FOIA defeats the purpose of the FOIA.

But yes that is kind of funny, sad and crazy.

For anyone wondering, I'm bowing out. It was great being here but I have to move on. I wish I could stay and keep contributing here but it just can't continue.

It was fun and I thank everyone for everything they have done.

My favorite was when Clinton in the US first got FOIA expanded to include pipe lines, electric utilities and many other environmental hazzards open to FOIA.

Now guess who has made the virually need to know or chained to the brain cell before they will release the information?
