Appeals Court Dismisses Lawsuit Filed Against Cheney Task Force
On May 10, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit dismissed a lawsuit filed in 2004 by a coalition of public interest groups that urged the court to order Vice President Dick Cheney to reveal the names of the people who participated in meetings of an energy task force he appointed in 2001. The American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) and other organizations had filed an amicus brief proposing a compromise in the case.
