Hellerstein: Accelerate the Production of the IG Report

The ACLU just submitted a letter in the CIA IG case–pointing out that Judge Hellerstein had given the government until August 31 to produce the rest of the documents in the FOIA request with the implicit assumption that it produce the IG Report by June 19 June 26 July 1.

The key part of the letter, however, is the note Judge Hellerstein wrote by hand on the ACLU letter, saying:

The Court will meet with counsel, 7/15/09, 10:30 AM, to discuss the issues described in this letter. The gov’t will consider accelerating its schedule of production.

I guess Hellerstein thinks  he’s getting the run-around at this point, as much as the ACLU.
