The normal exceptions are if the file is still open or it contains personnel information.

True. Intelligence files are traditionally kept secret forever. I did not mention this because it is NASA that is being sued, an organisation that has little need for spies. NASA may however have access to trade secrets, information that does not belong to the Government so it is not authorised to reveal it.As matter of information there are still classified files from World War I that can not be accessed. More from World War Two and the Korean War -- a war I am quite familiar with.{snip}

- emphasis added.Now the Sci-Fi Channel is supporting what could turn into a series of lawsuits, first against NASA and then against the Department of Defense, the Army and Air Force, to get classified documents released to the public.
NASA was chosen as the first agency to be sued because Sci-Fi ... believe(s) that they've fully exhausted their administrative options with the agency, a prerequisite for a judge to agree to hear the case.

Bonnie Hammer never said any such thing and there is no evidence that the network that spent millions producing Children of Dune, Taken and the new Galactica project has somehow banned aliens. What Hammer did say is that she wanted the channel to overcome the stereotype that SF was "only spaceships and aliens". And I don't see anything wrong with that, since it is obvious to anyone who's ever read any science fiction that the genre embraces much more than "spaceships and aliens".
If you don't like Bonnie Hammer's choice of programming, fine. But don't beat her up for saying things she never said.

In EITHER case the irony remains the same. OK so she wants to overcome the stereotype of Sci-Fi being JUST about spaceships and aliens. So what does she do? Sues NASA about hiding secrets on Spaceships and Aliens. GOOD CALL!
