PlaintiffUNROW HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT LITIGATION CLINIC AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF LAW
Case DescriptionUNROW requested a 2009 U.S. Embassy cable detailing the United Kingdom's interest in creating a marine park in the British Indian Ocean Territory, which had been published by the Guardian as part of the Wikileaks disclosures. Both the State Department and the Defense Intelligence Agency had copies of the cable. Both agencies denied the request under Exemption 1 (national security). The Clinic argued that State publicly acknowledged the authenticity of the cable by identifying its existence in response to the Clinic's attached copy of the cable as printed by the Guardian. DIA denied the Clinic's appeal. State had not responded to the Clinic's appeal before the Clinic filed suit.

Opinion/Order [43]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has ruled that the State Department properly invoked Exemption 1 (national security) to withhold a diplomatic cable sent from the U.S. Embassy in London reporting on the United Kingdom's plans concerning the British Indian Ocean Territory. The UNROW Human Rights Impact Litigation Clinic at American University Law School represented the Chagossians, a group of displaced indigenous people from the Chagos Archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory. UNROW had requested and received records in the past from the State Department and the Defense Intelligence Agency about the Chagossians. While one of its requests was still pending at State in 2010, The Guardian published the 2009 cable, part of the Wikileak disclosures. In 2013, UNROW sent FOIA requests to State and DIA for copies of the 2009 cable referred to in The Guardian article. DIA acknowledged UNROW's request and explained that since the cable likely originated with State, it would refer any records it found to State for final determination. DIA found a 7-page record that it referred to State. State found the same document and in its response letter to UNROW indicated that "record searches by the Department of State and by the Defense Intelligence Agency each resulted in the retrieval of one identical document responsive to [UNROW's] requests," and that State had determined to withhold the document under Exemption 1. UNROW filed suit, arguing that the cable was already in the public domain and that the State Department had officially acknowledged its existence. UNROW also urged Jackson to review the document in camera. Further, UNROW argued that DIA had improperly delegated its obligation to make a determination on the disclosability of the document by allowing State to make the sole determination. Jackson found the cable satisfied several of the categories of the executive order on classification for purposes of finding disclosure would harm national security. She pointed out that State's affidavits "specifically identify the origin of the information and articulate the damage its disclosure would do to relations with the United Kingdom and the chilling effect it would have on U.S. relations with countries and other sources of sensitive information. This argument is perfectly plausible; indeed, courts in this circuit have long recognized the legitimacy of this species of national security harm in the FOIA context." UNROW's primary argument that the government had waived the exemption through official acknowledgement was that the State Department's letter said that documents found by both State and DIA were "identical," which UNROW interpreted as meaning identical to the document that appeared in The Guardian. Jackson found this interpretation defied common sense and noted that the State Department's explanation of the word "identical" was far more convincing. She pointed out that "the plain and unambiguous role of the adjective 'identical' in the sentence is to make clear that State and DIA each turned up the same document; without that crucial modifier, the sentence would suggest that the Departments turned up two different documents, each of which was responsive to UNROW's requests. Surely, if State had intended to convey that the responsive document was identical to UNROW's attached copy of The Guardian document, it could have done so more clearly." She observed that "in the final analysis, then, UNROW finds itself in an unfortunate Catch-22: everything it asserts about the content of the withheld document is based on The Guardian document, but The Guardian document has never been officially acknowledged and thus cannot form the basis of a valid waiver claim." Jackson rejected UNROW's request that she review the document in camera "to determine whether any portion of the document falls outside of State's expressed confidentiality concern such that it may be released." But she noted that "the agency explained that the entire document contains sensitive content, such that even a partial disclosure would break a promise of confidentiality and chill relations with a foreign government. . ." Jackson found DIA had not violated FOIA by referring the document it found to State as the originator of the document for a disclosure determination. She observed that "the record is unambiguous that DIA possessed a copy of a seemingly responsive document that originated with State, and DIA believed State to be the proper authority to make the determination about responsiveness and disclosure."
