Judicial Watch investigates Hollywood meeting with White House on OBL (video)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 5/23/12 | staff

JON SCOTT: Now we’re joined by Tom Fitton, the president of judicial watch, the organization that obtained these documents through the freedom of information act. Is this what you were looking for, or as Wendell suggested, were you only filing the FOIA request for the photos?

TOM FITTON: Well, the FOIA request for the photos is a separate piece of litigation. So we were fighting tooth and nail for that, being told by the administration we can’t get access to it because it would violate national security to release the photos because it might offend the terrorists, but meantime they’re leaking this national security sensitive information, it looks like, to these Hollywood film-makers. Maureen Dowd of the New York Times who exposed this–no conservative—she said she had access to classified information and it was an effort, seen as a stretch, a boost in the homestretch to the campaign in October of 2012. That’s when the movie was supposed to be released. Then we find out from these documents that took nine months and a federal lawsuit to get out of this administration, that they disclosed identity of a seal 6 team operator planner commander to these two individuals. My understanding is those are the most private, most carefully held information in the government, the identities of those individuals. I don’t understand why the administration thinks it is appropriate to release that type of information but basic information about the raid they refuse to disclose.

Poor Judicial Watch. For years they have been on the right side of things, and do investigation, and make reports-—but not much ever comes of their efforts as I recall.
