Jose Padilla, the U.S. citizen imprisoned for more than three and a half years in a military brig as an "enemy combatant" is suing the Bush administration lawyer who narrowly redefined illegal interrogation techniques in his "torture memos."
Padilla, represented by Jonathan M.

Freiman is a partner of Wiggin and Dana in the firm’s New Haven office.
