WASHINGTON – A legal battle over the release of photos and videos during and after the U.S. raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in 2011 is now at the U.S. Supreme Court.

In Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Defense, 12-5137, the conservative foundation Judicial Watch is asking the justices to reverse the "blind deference" given by courts to the executive branch's withholding of classified materials under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and to mandate "meaningful review."
