What's News?
Over at Secrecy News, Steve Aftergood reports that “The National Security Archive filed suit against the Central Intelligence Agency after the CIA began imposing costs to process Freedom of Information Act requests that it said were not ‘newsworthy’ and therefore not entitled to a fee waiver.” Steve rightly asserts that the CIA shouldn’t be deciding what’s newsworthy and what’s not. (Though cynics might point out that CIA leakers have always done that.)
