BOR
NCC, as jk points out, the Court rejected the argument of falsifying statements.
You notice the defendant is the CIA. Without knowing more I am assuming thier reasoning was based on some type of "National Security" exception, that misleading the Court was permitted as long as it concerned so called Classified information and all that babble and if the truth be told, the National Security may be at risk, etc.
If you type in the case # in a search engine, other documents come up, and it appears it is a sensitive case of sorts.
