We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of this podcast. But if we could we’d tell you all about the CIA’s involvement in a prison at Guantanamo Bay. At least that’s what some Freedom of Information Act litigation is trying to figure out in a case at the D.C. Circuit. Michel Paradis, a national security lawyer and expert on much else, joins us to share his impressions of a recent oral argument in this case and the underlying relationship between FOIA and agencies like the CIA. There’s also a story about Howard Hughes and a submarine. Then IJ’s Ben Field takes us to the Fifth Circuit for a challenge to how a Texas prison treats a Muslim inmate. It’s a provisional win for religious liberty which includes an interesting concurrence about the kind of scrutiny courts should apply when it comes to prisoners practicing their religious freedoms while behind bars.
Register for the May 10 open fields conference!
Connell v. CIA
Lozano v. Collier
