WASHINGTON - Civil libertarians urged the Obama administration to release dozens of memos under its control that could shed light on secret Bush-era interrogation, detention and surveillance activities.
The American Civil Liberties Union's list of at least 41 such undisclosed documents is the most exhaustive produced so far. These memos are a wish list for civil rights, privacy and human rights groups, as well as members of Congress, seeking more information about the legal reasoning that underpinned the Bush administration's secret programs.
