Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, and the Department of the Treasury properly invoked Glomar responses neither confirming nor denying the existence of records in response to a series of FOIA requests submitted by Faisal Bin Ali Jaber and journalist Edward Pilkington for records concerning a 2012 drone strike in Yemen that killed Salem and Waleed bin Ali Jaber. The Defense Department disclosed 1,072 pages of non-exempt records, the Justice Department disclosed 107 redacted pages, and the State Department disclosed 41 pages. The three agencies all maintained that other potentially responsive records were subject to a Glomar response under Exemption 1 (national security) and Exemption 3 (other statutes). Although the Treasury Department originally told Bin Ali Jaber and Pilkington that it had no records, once all the other agencies relied on a Glomar response, Treasury joined their Glomar defense. McFadden agreed that both exemptions justified the Glomar response, noting that "the disclosure of information that tends to confirm one way or the other any American role in the alleged drone strike would risk revealing the existence or nonexistence of intelligence relationships with foreign liaisons and could lead to the unauthorized disclosure of intelligence sources." Bin Ali Jaber and Pilkington argued that a Glomar response was not necessary if the United States was not actually involved. McFadden rejected that contention, pointing out that "in any case in which requested information exists, the existence of the information is classified, and no harm would be caused by stating that the information does not exist, Plaintiffs' rule would require the Government to disclose the classified fact that the information exists â€" even though FOIA does not require this." The plaintiffs also contended that Yemen had already publicly acknowledged the existence of the drone strike. McFadden observed that "however, a news article's allegation that a foreign government claimed that the U.S. government was responsible for a drone strike falls well short of creating a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether an official and public acknowledgement by the United States that it was involved in the drone strike could harm national security." Having found the Glomar response was justified, McFadden indicated that the agencies' searches were also appropriate. Dismissing the plaintiffs' claim that the agencies should have searched for records implicated by the Glomar response as well, McFadden observed that "plaintiffs have not made any suggestions as to how a reasonable search for all responsive records would differ from the searches that were conducted, nor is it apparent to me that the Defendants' searches were inadequate even if Plaintiffs' interpretation of the law were correct."
Issues: Determination - Glomar response, Adequacy - Search
