In this clip from Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman interviews investigative journalist Jane Mayer, who argues that the new Obama administration should push for accountability on torture that took place under the previous leadership. She also addresses Obama's use of the state secrets privilege in recent detainee cases - a tactic frequently used by the Bush administration. Her recent article in the New Yorker addresses the case of Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, an alleged "enemy combatant" who has been detained in the United States for more than five years, without being brought to trial.
