CIA bookkeeping under fire in federal appeals review
William Richardson of Greensburg pursues a suit challenging CIA spending secrecy. The Third Circuit will decide if the government may withhold accounting of public funds, after an appeal of a Pittsburgh district court ruling.

The government argues Richardson lacks standing as a taxpayer. Judge Aldisert commends Richardson for his thorough argument.
