Biddle v. DOD (D.D.C.) -- finding that “the overly brief, generalized, and technical (in part) affidavit supplied by the Department” did not enable the Court to rule on the applicability of the Department’s invocation of Exemption 3 in conjunction with 10 U.S.C. § 130e, which protects “critical infrastructure security information”; cautioning the government that it must include all exemptions it seeks to invoke in its renewed summary judgment motion and not “reserve” any of them, as it did here.
