Abu Ghraib detainees can sue Va. contractor

Lets release gitmo detainees into the US and then let them sue everyone from Gitmo! Tampa Bay Online

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- A federal judge rejected a defense contractor's claims that it was immune from lawsuits by four alleged torture victims at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

In a ruling made public Thursday, U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee rejected claims made by Arlington, Va.-based CACI that it couldn't be sued because its interrogators were performing their duties as the government required. The company also said the case involves U.S. policy issues too sensitive for litigation.

The ruling allows four Abu Ghraib detainees - who were later released without being charged - to go forward with their lawsuit against CACI. The four allege torture and other crimes at the hands of CACI civilian interrogators hired by the Army.

What a surprise a liberal judge put in place by Clinton sides with the enemy against the people trying to keep us safe. Great job Dems.
