That is up to the evaluation. There has to be a reason to refuse a FOIA. Just because someone may not like the ACLU is not sufficient reason.

The government takes the FOIA pretty seriously and we should all be thankful they do.

I dont know if FOIA covers classified documents.

Of course the president can un-classify anything he wants.

Be aware that each federal agency has its own FOIA procedures.

And no FOIA does not pertain to classified information. There is a separate procedure to request the declassification of classified information.

Ah, yes, Freedom of Info Act. I do not see the ACLU getting anything under this act.

Problem is this, yesterday it was found that Pelosi and co are thick as thieves and were briefed on this in 2002. Of course she denies this. I'm thinking some more wrong buttons will be pushed and this will be brushed under the carpet. All of it.

Yea I saw where she denied it. Lying biotch.

The problem is if the facts are laid out... all of the facts that is, it will end up blowing up in the dem's faces. So your probably right.

Question is will all of the facts be presented, right now theres a lot of 'revelation' about the interrigation methods yet very little about the results.

Only place Ive heard about the foiled attempt to attack Los Angelis is on those 'crazy right wing nut job' news outlets.
