Gorsuch, Breyer grill US lawyer on whether Guantanamo detainee can testify about 'black site' interrogation
Fox News
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday on whether the U.S. government can be made to disclose information about the alleged torture of a detainee suspected of being an al Qaeda operative.
"Why not make the witness available?" Gorsuch asked as acting Solicitor General Brian Fletcher was about to begin his rebuttal toward the end of the morning's arguments. "What is the government's objection to the witness testifying to his own treatment, and not requiring any admission from the government of any kind?"
Fletcher said that because Abu Zubaydah is being held at Guantanamo, he is subject to the various communication limitations and security screenings as everyone else there.
