PlaintiffRaymond Bonner
Case DescriptionRaymond Bonner, an investigative journalist, submitted FOIA requests to the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the FBI for records pertaining to Abu Zubaydah. The agencies acknowledged receipt of Bonner's requests. The FBI initially told Bonner he would need to provide a privacy waiver from Abu Zubaydah before it would search for records, but later told Bonner it had searched its Central Records System and found no responsive records. Bonner filed an administrative appeal of that decision. After hearing nothing further from any of the agencies, Bonner filed suit.
