"The government is increasingly relying on a national security pretext to bolster its secrecy claims, an Associated Press report released yesterday reveals.

"In June 2011, the ACLU filed suit against the State Department to enforce a FOIA request seeking 23 embassy cables previously disclosed by WikiLeaks. The agency released redacted versions of 11 and withheld the other 12 in full.
...The cables describe the U.S. government's efforts abroad to avoid attention or accountability over actions it has taken in connection with the "war on terror."
