FILE - In this June 27, 2006 file photo, reviewed by a U.S. Department of Defense official, U.S. military guards walk within Camp Delta military-run prison, at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base, Cuba. The Supreme Court is allowing the Obama administration to keep secret photographs and videotapes of a Guantanamo Bay detainee identified as the would-be 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The justices on Monday turned away an appeal from a human rights group that argued the release of videotapes and photographs of the interrogation and confinement of Mohammed al-Qahtani would serve the public interest. The Center for Constitutional Rights has accused the FBI and military personnel of subjecting al-Qahtani to isolation and aggressive interrogation techniques in 2002.
