AP: U.S. says terror suspect shouldn't talk to civilian lawyer
By Associated Press

11/05/06 WASHINGTON (AP) — A suspected terrorist who spent years in a secret CIA prison should not be allowed to speak to a civilian attorney, the Bush administration argues, because he could reveal the agency's closely guarded interrogation techniques.
Human rights groups have questioned the CIA's methods for questioning suspects, especially following the passage of a bill last month that authorized the use of harsh — but undefined — interrogation tactics.

"Improper disclosure of other operational details, such as interrogation methods, could also enable terrorist organizations and operatives to adapt their training to counter such methods, thereby obstructing the CIA's ability to obtain vital intelligence that could disrupt future planned terrorist attacks," the Justice Department wrote.

"I suspect that a Terrorist training to hold his breath in adaption to their new Torture methods is not what they are fearing in first place. They try to cover up stories about Americans torturing like Saddam out of fear of a new Abu-Ghraib like PR-Armageddon"
