Groom Lake mentioned in El-Masri v. United States

The appeals court decided the case in March.

See: pacer.ca4.uscourts.gov...

Use the "Find" function in your PDF reader and type in "Groom Lake"; the Area 51 lawsuit is referenced.

I know it is October now, but this case is back in the news because the petition for certiorari was denied earlier this month by the U.S. Supreme Court (see: www.supremecourtus.gov...).

For more info on extraordinary renditon read the books Ghost Plane by Stephen Grey and Torture Taxi by Trevor Paglen and A.C. Thompson. The latter book has some info on Base Camp, the mysterious airstrip that has connections to Area 51.

...this ties into the hazardous materials lawsuit that A51/Groom has against them. Here's the topic's quote:

In Kasza v. Browner, the plaintiffs alleged that the Air Force had contravened the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in its storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste at a classified operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada. 133 F.3d 1159, 1164 (9th Cir. 1998). Their allegations could be explained without resort to state secrets; the revelation that the Air Force might have unlawfully handled its hazardous waste was not detrimental to national security. But because much of the specific information needed to litigate the plaintiffs’ claims was privileged, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the "very subject matter of [the] action is a state secret," and "agree[d] with the district court that [the] action must be dismissed."

This is interesting for the simple point of reading a lot of posts that say nothing has gone on in/under there for years, decades! Well, something is going on for this case/other cases to be so large in stature.
