While photos have leaked of U.S. troops abusing prisoners in the aftermath of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, including from the Army-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2004, none have ever emerged from the C.I.A. black sites. In fact, in 2005 the agency’s leadership destroyed videotapes of interrogations at a black site in Thailand to make sure they were never seen.

This is the kind of material defense lawyers have long sought to present to a judge or jury as evidence of outrageous government conduct, to avert a death penalty or have a war crimes case dismissed
