Fed Court Revives
Rendition Lawsuit Against Boeing From Associated Press April 28, 2009 San Francisco - A federal
appeals court has ruled that a Boeing Co. subsidiary can be sued for
allegedly flying terrorism suspects to secret prisons to be tortured as part
of the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled Tuesday that a lower court judge wrongly dismissed the
lawsuit after the government asserted the case was a "state secret"
that would harm national security. The appeals court said the
five prisoners suing San Jose-based Jeppesen Dataplan Inc. can try to prove
their case without top-secret information that legitimately needs protection
from disclosure. Copyright © 2009 The
