CIA Wants Veterans' Class Action Dismissed
By ROBERT KAHN


(CN) - The CIA asked a federal judge in San Francisco to dismiss the Vietnam Veterans of America's class-action seeking damages for the Army's and CIA's chemical experiments on veterans during the Cold War. The CIA says the claims are time-barred, the plaintiffs lack standing, the complaints are not justiciable, and raises other objections in its 33-page federal filing.
