I'm overposted, but there's reasonably good news from JusticeLand.

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION, ET AL. V. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, ET AL. (February 2, 2005)

A federal judge rules that the CIA must comply with the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) by turning over records sought by the ACLU regarding the “the treatment of Detainees in United States custody,” their “death[s],” and their “rendition” to countries known to employ torture, and that there is no “investigation exception” that could excuse the CIA’s compliance.
