The intrepid Jon Wiener fights on

I just found this from an email I got last month from NCH WASHINGTON UPDATE (Vol. 10, #40; 8 October 2004):

Historian Wins FOIA Access Suit: On 28 September 2004, U.S. District Judge Robert Takasugi gave University of California at Irvine historian Jonathan Wiener a significant win when he ordered the FBI to turn over the remaining 10 pages of the secret files on Beatle John Lennon to Wiener. Judge Takasugi rejected government arguments that releasing the last 10 pages of Weiners request would pose a national security risk because a foreign government secretly provided the information (the government that provided the information was not publicly identified though Great Britain is obviously the most likely source). The battle for the Lennon records started in 1983, when Wiener sued the Department of Justice under the Freedom of Information Act. Through a settlement in 1997, Wiener received 248 pages of the Lennon records. These files, which were gathered from 1971 to 1972,included memos detailing Lennon's donations to a group planning to demonstrate at the 1972 Republican National Convention. The Justice department is considering whether to appeal the District Court decision.
