If you follow me on Twitter, you’d know this by now, but over at the Washington Independent I report that the Obama administration is asking Judge Alvin Hellerstein to give it until August 31 to declassify the 2004 CIA inspector general report on torture. If you’re counting, this, if successful, will be the government’s fourth day in releasing the report. I’ve got the court filings over at the Streak. ACLU attorney Amrit Singh writes that she’s "disturbed by the clear trend emerging in the government’s repeated delays in disclosure of documents critical to a complete understanding of the CIA’s interrogation program."

While I’m not saying this is good for the country, some real talk — at least this means I don’t have to spend my 4th of July reading this shit. JUST SAYING
