A federal court judge in Washington, D.C. denied on Thursday a request by the American Civil Liberties Union to reveal alleged U.S. government involvement in the torture of Naji Hamdan, an American citizen.

Hamdan, a 42-year-old Muslim, father and small business owner from California, was arrested by United Arab Emirates authorities in August, 2008 and tortured repeatedly. During the abuse, he says, a man who spoke perfect English was present, ever threatening him to comply with his interrogators.

3. Hey, we HAVE to keep this stuff secret!
We don't want anyone to get all "inflamed" or anything.
Can't we all just "look forward" ?

Who needs to "trouble their beautiful minds" with messy little things like The Truth?
