WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court is questioning the government's broad use of an exemption in the federal Freedom of Information Act to withhold documents from the public.

The justices heard argument Wednesday in an appeal from Glen Milner, a Washington state resident who sued under FOIA for maps showing the extent of damage expected from an explosion at the Navy's main West Coast ammunition dump on an island near Port Townsend in western Washington.

While one must be vigilant for the normal attempt of the govt to use classified data labels to cover up the corruption of officials, this Milner clown is one of those wacko lefties who wants to shut down the military bases.

I’m surprised the map was produced unless the employee who produced it wanted it released (thereby going over his supervisors’ heads).
