[quote:Anonymous Coward 18392720:MV8xOTA1NDE3XzMxODU2ODM5XzJBRkIxMkZF] So if the information HELPS Obama get reelected....it gets released, even if it means that our agents get exposed (like a certain doctor in Pakistan) But if the information hurts his campaign,then its "too sensitive" to be released. The only way we'll ever get the truth about the drone program,Fast and Furious, and the Obama Care budget is if Obama doesn't get reelecte [/quote]
Original Message
The Obama administration has moved to block the release of information relating to its overseas drone assassination program, and will not even acknowledge that it exists, despite countless public references to the program and the proven existence of an official “kill list”.
In a motion filed just before midnight last night, the federal government asked for FOIA requests regarding drone killings by the ACLU and the New York Times to be dismissed.
The administration’s court filing suggested that the public disclosure of such material could potentially harm national security.
“Whether or not the CIA has the authority to be, or is in fact, directly involved in targeted lethal operations remains classified,” the court filing noted.
“Even to describe the number and details of most of these documents would reveal information that could damage the government’s counterterrorism efforts,” the filing continued.
