The Central Intelligence Agency has posted
hundreds of declassified and unclassified articles from its in-house journal Studies
in Intelligence, in an effort to settle a lawsuit brought by a former
employee, Jeffrey Scudder. Until lately, the CIA had resisted release of the
requested articles in softcopy format (Secrecy News,
March 17), but the Agency eventually relented.
"
Of the 419 documents that remain in dispute in Scudder,
the CIA has produced 249 in full or in part by putting them up on the CIA
website," the government informed Mr. Scudder's attorney, Mark S. Zaid,
this week. They are posted here.
The newly posted articles cover a wide range of
topics, and vary considerably in substance and originality. The CIA said that
170 other articles sought by Scudder had been withheld in full.
Jeffrey Scudder was profiled recently in the Washington
Post (CIA
employee's quest to release information 'destroyed my entire career'
by Greg Miller, July 4, 2014).
