Federal Judge Denies FOIA Request for Secret CIA Document

District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled against a journalist on Tuesday who had tried to uncover the classified documents – known as the Panetta Review, because they was completed under orders from former agency Director Leon Panetta – under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The CIA had used ‘sound’ reasoning in keeping the documents secret, Boasberg decided in a 19-page judgment, preventing it from making its way to the public.
The documents ‘may be withheld in full,’ Boasberg added.
