Mother Jones (!) has a useful article on organizations that are working hard to out CIA operatives. At the very least, the article sheds a bit of light on why these organizations — specifically the John Adams Project — have devoted so much time and energy to this cause. Many of these folks, of course, blame the Bush administration for their tactics, saying, according to the authors of this article, “it was the Kafkaesque military commissions process that drove the group to such desperate measures.”
The ACLU’s John Adams Project worked to discover the identities of CIA operatives. Several pro-detainee lawyers, who showed pictures of suspected CIA agents to Gitmo inmates to confirm whether they were interrogators, are now working in the Justice Department.
