In response to a FOIA request, the
United States Army Criminal Investigative Division announced that it
was engaged in “an active investigation … in progress with an
undetermined completion date,” of the Bradley Manning Support
Network. As a consequence of this investigation, the Army CID would
not release any material responsive to FOIA requests at this time.
The US Army CID has invoked (b)(7)(f)
to justify, in part, their denial. This means that US Army CID
believes that release of these records will risk the physical
well-being of individuals involved with the case.
With WikiLeaks records being withheld, in part, on (b)(7)(f) exemptions grounds, it seems
that Army CID has decided that both WikiLeaks supporters and members
of allied organizations are a threat to commit physical violence
either against investigators or those who cooperate with the
investigations.
