FREEDOM OF INFORMATION? UNCLE SAM, GET IT RIGHT!
[SOURCE: C-Net|News.com, AUTHOR: Eric Sinrod]
[Commentary] The Freedom of Information Act enables the public to obtain information from the federal government to ascertain, as stated by the Supreme Court, "what the government is up to." After all, a government shrouded in secrecy is not a government by the people and for the people. But recent audit by the National Security Archive paints a bleak picture of governmental noncompliance with E-FOIA a decade after its enactment. This situation is unacceptable. Not only is it against the law as written 10 years ago, it also completely goes against the goal of freedom of access to government information.
