Plaintiff will be “irreparably harmed” if these photos aren’t released? Good luck with that lame reasoning.

From 5 U.S.C. - 552 that they referenced, it appears that plaintiffs have no leg to stand on:

(b) This section does not apply to matters that are—
(1)
(A) specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and
(B) are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive order;


and

(7) records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information
(A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,
(B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication,
(C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,
(D) could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, including a State, local, or foreign agency or authority or any private institution which furnished information on a confidential basis, and, in the case of a record or information compiled by criminal law enforcement authority in the course of a criminal investigation or by an agency conducting a lawful national security intelligence investigation, information furnished by a confidential source,
(E) would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law, or
(F) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual;

The group says it is being “irreparably harmed” by the Obama administration’s “unlawful withholding of requested records.”

Fuck ‘em. The release of those photos serves no purpose and will irreparably harm the troops that are still at war, and Americans around the world.

Judicial Watch can get the hell over it and STFU.

A. The action isn’t secret and the methods used (shooting him in the face) isn’t secret.
B. Since classification is wrapped around the action and the methods used, I don’t see any legitimate argument for keeping the photos classified.

The government isn’t allowed to keep information from us because they feel like it or because they’re concerned about it hurting someones feelings. I would bet money they’re going to be forced to release the photos unless congress passes another law specifically exempting themselves like they did with the Abu Ghraib photos.

The list of FOIA requests is growing. Common Cause, the AP, and Reuters are all included. I read a list the other day of 7 or 8 organizations. I’ll try to remember where I found it.

Here’s the list as of last week:

theatlanticwire.com

AP, Politico, FoxNews, Judicial Watch, Citizens United, NPR.

I thought Reuters was on the list but I can’t seem to verify that so I’ll take it back. My bad.
