AFTER NEWSPAPERS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u2026The New York Times reports on the ACLU\u2019s successful campaign to use the Freedom of Information Act to get the government to disclose documents about the government\u2019s detention and interrogation policies. The ACLU has received hundreds of pages of documents, which it has then released to the public on the Internet, becoming the basis of dozens of stories by journalists.<\/p>\n

Instead, a non-profit organization\u2013 the ACLU\u2013worked in coordination with journalistic efforts to mount a long-term litigation campaign to gain access to important government information.
