"mosaic" of information

Mother Jones: Meet the Punk Rocker [Ryan Shapiro] Who Can Liberate Your FBI File. The FBI has sued to prevent the release of 350k pages that he's after:

Invoking a legal strategy that had its heyday during the Bush administration, the FBI claims that Shapiro's multitudinous requests, taken together, constitute a "mosaic" of information whose release could "significantly and irreparably damage national security" and would have "significant deleterious effects" on the bureau's "ongoing efforts to investigate and combat domestic terrorism."

Awww... The poor FBI. Payback's a bitch, ain't it?
