Group Petitions Court About Revoked Clearance

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has submitted an amicus brief to a federal court arguing that David Tenenbaum, whose case involving the Department of Defense (DoD) we first wrote about here, should be allowed to challenge in court the revocation of his security clearance.

The ADL cites a DoD report that found that Tenenbaum was subject to religious-based discrimination during a security clearance investigation. A lower court, however, upheld the government’s motion to disallow the case because “state secrets” were involved and could be compromised in any court proceeding.
