8 I suppose, if you had a different fact
9 scenario -- not "I suppose." I know that if you had a
10 different fact scenario, where you had people who were
11 disinclined to seek the truth, and then that could be
12 demonstrated -- which has not been demonstrated in any
13 way to my satisfaction, not even close. But if you were
14 able to demonstrate a lack or a disinclination to seek
15 the truth, then you're talking a different situation.
16 But quite the contrary, there were just literally scores
17 of people out there trying to prove your points; namely,
18 something was amiss here, something was rotten, and none
19 of them did.

21 into the balancing aspect of things, and as a
22 consequence, I'm going to finalize my ruling granting
23 summary judgment for the government as regards the FOIA
24 issue, and telling them that they have to give you the
25 color pictures.
