SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 29 –
A Freedom of Information Act
request for records withheld
about the Manchester Manuel
and enhanced interrogation
methods has given rise to FOIA
litigation.
On June 29, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Jesse M. Furman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
After
disclose a possible conflict
that the two sides both
quickly waived, Judge Furman
asked about timing, noting
that the records had been
sought in connection with the
20th anniversary of the
9/11/01 attacks.
The
plaintiff's lawyer said there
was a June 30 soft deadline -
and Judge Furman said, you
will not be getting a decision
by then. But perhaps soon.
In another
FOIA proceedings in SDNY also
covered
by Inner City Press, Judge
Engelmayer wished the parties,
including Raymond Bonner
working on the documentary,
luck in getting things "across
the goal line." Is time
running out?
The case is
Bonner v. Central Intelligence
Agency, et al., 19-cv-9762
(Furman)
