That may be because no one needs to be disappeared, because the plaintiff just won't win. Remember the Church Committee only managed to scratch the surface. So what makes you think that suddenly, now, there will be transparency and justice. And even if the court ruled for the plaintiff, what happens if the CIA refuses to comply? Who is gonna hold them to account? You? Congress? The president? LOL.
