Eighth Judicial Circuit Court Judge James E.

Moore made his decision to allow the court to

possible problems USC and Sadat could face by
disclosing the information. Lewis said revealing information
about Sadat's travel and lodging could
endanger her life and is also an invasion of privacy.
Perkins has said, however, any information that
could endanger Sadat would remain secret. Perkins
said he believes Sadat, "by her acts and mode of
life, has become a public figure who has lost, at
least to this extent, her right of privacy".
