    CIA Argues Selected Journalists Get Special Access

    Intelligence officials can selectively release classified information to trusted journalists while withholding the same information from other citizens who request it through open records laws, CIA lawyers argued Wednesday
    In a motion filed in New York federal court, the CIA claimed that limited disclosures to reporters do not waive national security exemptions to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies frequently deny records requests on the basis of protecting sensitive national security information, one of nine exemptions written into the federal FOIA law.
    The case stems from lawsuit against the CIA by New York-based independent journalist Adam Johnson, who had used FOIA to obtain emails between the agency’s public information office and selected reporters from the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and The New York Times. The emails the CIA provided to Johnson were redacted, leading him to question why he was not allowed to see the same information that had been given to uncleared reporters.

    Johnson challenged the redaction in court, arguing that the CIA, once it has selectively disclosed information to uncleared reporters, cannot claim the same information is protected by a FOIA exemption.

    Remember when CNN cleared an interview with bin Laden in Pakistan? The FBI and CIA had no idea where #1 was hiding at, but a "journalist" and his camera crew interviewed him just fine.

    Condor - played by Redford - was a "researcher" of "the company" that hit it's own field office
    when they uncovered a bit too much . . . got lucky he was out of the office serendipitously. CIA was sloppy.

    "Sneakers" is about "Setec Astronomy" an anagram of "too many secrets" that is the name of an NSA project to break the codes of all the other US government agencies.

    It does have a comic feel to it but they were trying to warn us about the NSA, Hollywood is a liberal sinkhole so it is no wonder Akroyd is used to make "conspiracy theorists" look bad. (Ironic because the movie is about a government conspiracy that is presented as quite real)
