NORAD Not Subject To FOIA?

Why Do They Receive Taxpayer Dollars If They're Not Accountable to Americans?

Mr. Green,

Questions can be directed to me.  My contact information is below.

To address your questions:
- Records do not transfer between NORAD and USNORTHCOM as the commands have 
separate and specific missions.

- Computer systems and files were not integrated for both commands as the 
commands have separate and specific missions.

- It was not a simple merger/acquisition.  A new Geographic Combatant Command 
was created with distinct mission authorities and only those documents directly 
related to USNORTHCOM missions were transferred.  The prior mission requirements 
of USSPACECOM were transferred to USSTRATCOM.

- All hard copy documents, originals and copies and exercise database records 
for USSPAECOM that existed were sent to USSTRATCOM.

- USNORTHCOM has no copies and/or files for the subject exercise.

- USNORTHCOM provided a "no records" response as no responsive records were 
found on USNORTHCOM systems of records.

 - NORAD is not subject to FOIA; therefore no systems of records search was 
conducted on NORAD systems.

Do You Know What National Security Means?

The caveat here is the harm to nation must be identified/described

National Security = defense of the nation 'or' foreign relations. In other words, in order to protect a relationship with a particular country the US government can claim it's a matter of National Security that embarrassing information about that particular country not be released. Wow! 

Only if "all" conditions are met & identified/describable

This among many other Executive Orders is used to justify prosecution of 'whistleblowers' for unauthorized disclosure

It appears maintaining relationships with foreign governments is more important than "identifying" everyone responsible for the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

Again on the following page information "shall 'not' " be classified 'unless' harm identifiable/describable

2014 FOIA Lawsuit for Release of FBI, FAA, DOD Sept. 11, 2001 Records

After years of denials, outright ignored FOIA requests and blatant violations of 5 U.S.C. 522 (the FOIA Law) a complaint was filed in Federal Court to compel release of documents sought in the FOIA requests viewable on this blog.

On June 9, 2014 my complaint was received and successfully filed. Thank you to MK for making this day possible!

Please support this effort and attend court when the date is received/announced.

Filed at Federal Court NEWARK, NJ
