Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle has upheld most of the FBI's exemption claims related to records of its surveillance of certain domestic political and religious organizations �" including the ACLU, Greenpeace, PETA, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Huvelle rejected the agency's claims on only two documents, finding it had claimed Exemption 1 (national security) for a piece of information that was not classified, and finding that Exemption 5 (deliberative process privilege) did not cover the factual portions of a series of emails discussing what had happened at a meeting. The agency claimed that "before the advent of computers, these discussions probably would have occurred only orally with no records of their existence being kept." Huvelle disagreed, noting that "a blanket exemption under 'deliberative process' for all e-mail traffic among agency employees, however, is certainly not permissible under FOIA, especially given the extent to which an agency's business must, in this era of the Internet, be conducted by e-mail. Indeed, while some communications that arguably fall within Exemption 5 may previously have been conducted orally, it is just as likely that others would have been memorialized in memorandum form and been subject to FOIA disclosure. It is the content, rather than the form of the document, that is critical to the Court's analysis under FOIA. Here, the agency has not demonstrated that the 'factual material' contained in the e-mail 'is "inextricably intertwined" with the deliberative material.'"
Issues: Exemption 1 - Harm to national security, Exemption 5 - Privileges - Deliberative process privilege - Deliberative
