October 21, 2011 State Department Letter Responding to WikiLeaks FOIA Request

On April 12, 2011, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request for 23 State Department embassy cables that were released by WikiLeaks in November 2010 and then published by major newspapers. The ACLU sued the government after it failed to respond to the FOIA request. The lawsuit caused the State Department to release portions of the diplomatic cables to the ACLU.
