The Justice Department hasn't yet gotten around to deciding whether to investigate and/or prosecute the torture of detainees in US custody, in the face of clear evidence that even the Spanish Inquisition guidelines laid out by John Yoo were exceeded. They have, however, evidently offered some attention to the defense teams for some of those detainees.
A research company hired by the defense teams is accused of showing photographs of CIA officers to detainees. Presumably this was done in an attempt to compile a list of individuals who interacted with said detainees, especially since the evidence against them was in some cases gathered under illegal circumstances (torture). So far it's unclear, even to those being investigated, exactly what law the defense attorneys supposedly violated by engaging in this activity, but I'm sure Justice is acting totally in good faith. No reason I can think of, after all, to believe the government would be trying to discourage the defense activity of these particular clients.
