NYTimes sues DOJ

Remember this?

The New York Times has filled a FOIA suit seeking to get the secret report declared public and released (at least redacted after an in camera review).

The suit deserves a good reading.

From Lawfare:

The suit itself presents the question whether legal analysis, as distinct from details of the program itself, warrants protection under FOIA exemption 1.  The complain calls for release of at least a redacted version of the DOJ/ODNI report, if not the whole thing.  If successful, of course, this strategy could have significant implications across a range of settings involving internal government legal advice.
