ACLU Files Opposition to Government Cert Petition in Detainee Photo Case

The ACLU has filed its Opposition to the Government's Petition for Cert before the Supreme Court in the ACLU's lawsuit against the Defense Department for photos of abuses of detainees.

At this point, the case basically boils down to how specific the government has to be in stating individuals could be harmed when invoking FOIA exemption 7(F).  In this case, the government has said the release of the photos could harm all military and civilians deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.  The Second Circuit found this was too broad -- a position the ACLU claims was correct.
