Judge Sullivan’s ruling means we’ll get about 15 of the 28 pages in Cheney’s interview.

Judge Sullivan has rejected DOJ’s most expansive claims they used to try to protect Dick Cheney’s CIA Leak case interview.

I am reading this now for more detail, but the key graph is this one.

For the reasons stated above, the Court concludes that the agency has met its burden of demonstrating that certain limited information was appropriately withheld from disclosure to protect the well-recognized deliberative process and presidential communications privileges under Exemption

Lanny Breuer provided John Kiriakou, who responded to Dick Cheney’s inquiries at CIA about Joe Wilson, with at least $5000 of legal services. Doesn’t that mean he probably shouldn’t have been the guy at DOJ who submitted a declaration insisting on keeping Cheney’s interview with Patrick Fitzgerald secret?

Obama’s DOJ is still inventing an “embarrassment exemption” for FOIA, to prevent us from learning what Dick Cheney said to Patrick Fitzgerald as part of the CIA Leak investigation.

Among other stupid claims DOJ made in its latest effort to hide Dick Cheney’s interview report was that, in spite of CREW’s list proving that the public release of investigation materials has always been routine, if a high level White House official thinks it will be routine, he won’t cooperate.

The fact that Dick Cheney’s lawyer has already leaked the contents of his interview with Fitzgerald utterly devastates the government’s arguments for keeping his interview materials secret.

Cheney’s lawyer attended Cheney’s Fitzgerald interview. Does the cover story he told reflect what Cheney said in his interview?

An annotated version of all the information DOJ doesn’t want you to see in Cheney’s interview with Fitzgerald–and where that information already exists in public form.

Jeffery Smith makes the same errors on the CIA Leak case that reporters have been making for years.

I think the DOJ is trying to distract Jon Stewart from laughing at Cheney by making a farcical argument about why his interview materials can’t be released.
