Obama accused by lawyers of stonewalling on terror questioning

Lawyers for suspected terrorists at the U.S.'s Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba accused the Obama administration of failing to live up to its pledge of transparency and provide information that could free the detainees. The attorneys said government officials have been no more helpful than the Bush administration in sharing transcripts of interrogations of their clients. The detainees may have been subject to harsh methods and possibly torture, the lawyers said. The Justice Department "hasn't changed its stonewalling position" from the Bush administration, said Professor James Cohen of Fordham University School of Law in New York, who represents two detainees. "We are asking for all this information, and they're refusing to give it."
