“More than year after the National Security Archive sued the CIA to declassify the full ‘Official History of the Bay of Pigs Operation,’ a U.S. District Court judge today sided with the Agency’s efforts to keep the last volume of the report secret in perpetuity. In her ruling, Judge Gladys Kessler accepted the CIA’s legal arguments that, because Volume V was a ‘draft’ and never officially approved for inclusion in the Agency’s official history, it was exempt from declassification under the ‘deliberative process privilege’ despite having been written over 30 years ago. The National Security Archive called the decision ‘a regrettable blow to the right-to-know’.”
