Federal Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against Boeing in CIA "Torture Flight" Program
A federal appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit about the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program under President Bush, which sent terrorism suspects abroad to be tortured. In a ruling issued Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Obama administration's argument that the rendition program constitutes a state secret and its legality cannot be decided by courts. The lawsuit was brought against Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen DataPlan, Inc.
