This what's known as a Glomar response: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response
That developed in law thanks to the press uncovering a secret, massive sunken-sub-raising boat built by Howard Hughes for the CIA to retrieve a lost Soviet sub (yes, the very thing that The Hunt for Red October was based on).
- darkarmani 13y ago> Lower court precedent has thus far ruled the Glomar response to have potential merit, if the secretive nature of the material truly requires it, and only if the agency provides "as much information as possible" to justify its claim. Otherwise, the principles established in FOIA may trump claims to secrecy. Is it required if they have no data collected and the subject isn't under investigation?
