CERL files FOIA request seeking release of secret OLC memo said to legally justify capture of Venezuelan president

An article in Freedom Press (Freedom of the Press Foundation) revealed that, due to prepublication review standards, CERL Advisory Council member Mark Fallon had to remove content from his book, Unjustifiable Means, in order to “protect the government from embarrassment” despite that information already being publicly available.

Mark Fallon is the co-founder of Project Aletheia at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, director of ClubFed, LLC, and a member of the CERL Advisory Council. Fallon has been in the national security field for over three decades, principally as a special agent with NCIS, and is the author of Unjustifiable Means: The Inside Story of How the CIA, Pentagon, and US Government Conspired to Torture.
