June 4, 2012 – Jefferson Morley’s quest for records on George Joannides, the CIA case officer who managed the DRE at the time Lee Harvey Oswald was in contact with it, survived a second trip to the Court of Appeals. But the victory was a narrow one, ruling that on remand to the District Court the CIA will have to once again review 294 documents withheld in their entireties to determine whether other exemption claims cover all the now non-exempt "Exemption 2" materials, or whether all or some of the Exemption 2 materials are segregable and can be released, perhaps with some Exemption 1 (national security) materials as well. The judgment is posted together with a memorandum which explains the Court’s ruling and an indication of what lies ahead in District Court.
