WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has sided with the U.S. government and dismissed a case involving a Guantanamo Bay detainee seeking what the government said is secret information. Abu Zubaydah was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and was once thought to be a high-ranking member of the terrorist group al-Qaida. He was tortured while being held at so-called CIA black sites abroad before being transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2006. Zubaydah was seeking to get the testimony of two former CIA contractors as part of an Polish investigation into his treatment. Many details about Zubaydah’s treatment have been reported, including that he was held in Thailand and Poland.
