BREAKING NEWS: NEW LAWSUIT ALLEGES GUANTANAMO TORTURE 
From the AP (via USA Today):
Lawyers for six Bosnian detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp sued the U.S. government Wednesday, leveling new allegations of abuse and torture by U.S. forces there.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, asks a judge to force the Department of Justice and Department of Defense to release information that would allegedly prove the torture of prisoners by American forces at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba.

Lawyers for the six men — all Algerians with Bosnian citizenship — allege that repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act have been ignored by the federal government.
