Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
NEW YORK, May 18 (UPI) -- Lawyers who once represented Guantanamo Bay detainees have taken legal action against U.S. officials in an attempt to gain undisclosed documents.
Based on allegations that they were under surveillance while meeting with their Guantanamo Bay clients, 16 lawyers have asked a New York judge to force federal officials to hand over records of those recordings, the New York Post said Friday.
The attorneys allege that to date, officials from the Department of Justice and the National Security Administration have only shared half of those documents with them.
Papers filed in court Thursday by the Center for Constitutional Rights said the federal judge has been asked to deem the information withholding illegal and order the data's release.
The alleged practice of eavesdropping on the nearly 380 terror suspects at the U.S. Navy base without proper warrants was first brought to light by media reports in 2005, the Post said.
