Wired Editor Wins US-VISIT FOIA Case
Last year, Wired News editor Kevin Poulsen sued U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under the Freedom of Information Act, because CBP refused to disclose documents related to a US-VISIT computer failure. A federal court in California recently ordered the agency to release the documents, which revealed that the computers had been infected with a common worm. The court also granted Mr. Poulsen $66,000 in attorney’s fees.
