The FBI should not have been sanctioned for withholding documents about
its investigations and surveillance operations of Islamic groups, the
9th Circuit ruled Wednesday.
A coalition of Muslim-American community organizations and leaders, including the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California and the Council on American Islamic Relations-California, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2006 to get a look at documents related to the FBI's investigations of their members since 2001.
The FBI initially released just eight, heavily redacted pages, inspiring the groups to file suit in Los Angeles.
Though the bureau later handed over another 100 pages or so, these too were heavily redacted.
