JUDICIAL WATCH VICTORY: JUDGE ORDERS CIA TO PRODUCE
TRULOCK DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW
Former Energy
Dept. Intelligence Chief, Notra Trulock, Seeks Govt. Records Under Privacy
& Freedom of Information Acts
Trulock
Sounded the Alarm Over Nuke Security Breach at Los Alamos National
Laboratories
(Washington, DC) Judicial
Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes
government corruption and abuse, said today that the Honorable Emmet G.
Sullivan, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has
directed the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to deliver copies of
documents sought by Judicial Watch client and former Energy Department
Director of Intelligence, Notra Trulock, under the provisions of the
Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act, for in camera
review.
In a “Memorandum Opinion and Order,” dated March 31,
2003, Judge Sullivan wrote: “The Court is indeed persuaded that the CIA
has not provided sufficient information through affidavits and
descriptions of the documents fully and partially withheld to permit the
Court to rule on the CIA’s claims of statutory exemptions. . .
Accordingly, the Court shall direct defendant CIA to submit all documents
withheld in whole or in part for in camera review, to enable the Court to
ascertain whether the claimed exemptions apply.” The opinion is available
on the Judicial Watch Internet site at: www.JudicialWatch.org
Mr.
Trulock, the national security hero who sounded the alarm over the biggest
breach of nuclear security since the Rosenbergs, at Los Alamos National
Laboratories, is pursuing a number of legal actions in order to seek
justice for an unlawful smear campaign directed against him by Clinton
administration officials, former FBI Director Louis Freeh, and the now
thoroughly discredited FBI. Trulock’s First Amendment rights were violated
by Freeh and other FBI officials when, after Trulock wrote an article
critical of the FBI, they ordered his personal computer files by seized by
FBI agents. The FBI neither had a warrant nor the consent of Trulock or
his landlord to conduct the illegal search and seizure. Recently, the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals allowed a civil rights complaint by
Trulock against former FBI Director Louis Freeh and others to proceed.
The deposition of Freeh is tentatively set for May 23,
2003.
“We are encouraged by Judge Sullivan’s order and are
confident that Mr. Trulock will prevail in having the government turn over
the records and files it maintains on him. Honorable, honest citizens,
such as Mr. Trulock, should not be the subject of secret government files
and coordinated government efforts to thwart transparency and
accountability,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom
Fitton.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are

directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
