It’s rare for people who sued the U.S. government over human rights violations tied to its “war on terror” to get a trial, as the Supreme Court has set precedent that makes it easier for the government to squash cases over alleged national security concerns. “CACI has raised every legal challenge imaginable,” says Shirin Sinnar, a law professor at Stanford University. “The procedural hurdles are often what kill cases. Most people who have powerful claims about suffering torture never actually get their day in court.”
