The former employee, who sued the CIA under the pseudonym Wendy Lee, argued that the CIA had unlawfully imposed a prior restraint upon her speech by improperly classifying her memoir. The CIA insisted that the classification decisions were justified.

It is "another example of the Executive Branch getting whatever it wants in national security cases," said Mark S. Zaid, who represents Lee. "Why, one must ask, can 'Anonymous' write a critical book about the CIA while still working there, but a former employee cannot?"
