Politico reports that the Government has won summary judgment on a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on documents concerning enhanced interrogation techniques used by the Bush administration. After releasing and segregating certain documents, United States District Judge for the District of Columbia Rosemary Collyer said the government's use of Exemptions 1, 3, 5 and 6 were proper.
Among the Exemption 5 privileges used was the presidential communications privilege which protects material going to the President and his top advisors.
