DETAINEE SECRECY DEFENDED
The Justice Department told a federal appeals court on Monday that
the names of hundreds of individuals who were arrested on
immigration charges after September 11, 2001, must remain secret,
contrary to a lower court ruling, because disclosing them would
assist terrorists.
See "U.S. Says Revealing Names Would Aid Al Qaeda," by Neil A.
Lewis, New York Times, November 19:

Paradoxically, however, a Justice Department spokeswoman released a
press statement indicating that the secrecy was needed not for
security against terrorists but in order to respect the detainees'
personal privacy and that "all detainees ... can disclose their
identity to the public at any time." See:

The case came before the court as a result of a request filed by a
coalition of groups under the Freedom of Information Act. For more

National Security Studies, here:

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
