In his July 23 decision that the CIA did not have to pay legal fees in my Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for the records of a deceased CIA officer, Judge Richard Leon stated, correctly that I had argued that “the news media has shown interest in covering the disclosed records but he fails to tie any of the coverage to any of the newly released documents rather than those that were already available to the public.”
Yet, as I stated in my brief, this AP story published by the Mail Online, one of the most popular Web sites in the world, includes a photograph that was one of the newly released documents. In this case, justice was truly blind.
