CIA and Pentagon fight to keep faked bin Laden death photos secret!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 27, 2011 - Photos and videos of Osama bin Laden after he was reported killed in May in a U.S. military/Central Intelligence Agency raid in Pakistan should not be released publicly because they would reveal military and intelligence secrets and could lead to violence against U.S. personnel, the illegitimate Obama regime argued in papers filed in federal court in Washington late Monday night.
The new filings from the Department of Justice provide scant details about the imagery, but CIA National Clandestine Service Director John Bennett wrote that the CIA has "52 unique photographs and/or video recordings" depicting bin Laden during or after the May operation. Bennett did not break down the tally further, but said all the imagery is classified "TOP SECRET," meaning that disclosure of the material could lead to "exceptionally grave damage" to U.S. national security.
"All of the responsive records are the product of a highly sensitive, overseas operation that was conducted under the direction of the CIA," Bennett wrote, arguing that disclosure of the information would reveal "intelligence activities and/or methods".
The motion for summary judgment and supporting declarations ask U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg to rule for the government in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought in May by Judicial Watch. The conservative watchdog group sued the Department of Defense after it failed to comply with the group's request for the bin Laden imagery. The lawsuit was broadened in June to name the CIA as a defendant.
Ed. Note: Remember, Osama bin Laden died over ten years ago! The CIA “operation” never actually happened. The killing of bin Laden is a fraud perpetrated by the United States government.
