UnFreedom of Information

By davidswanson - Posted on 11 January 2006

Here's a letter from the Department of "Defense" in response to a Freedom of Information Request from Congressman John Conyers and many other Congress Members. It includes this line:

"[The Defense Department] cannot favorably consider your request for a fee waiver . . . our current fee estimate for the processing of this request is $110,000; which does not include reproduction charges."

FOIA

When 52 members of congress have to jump through hoops to get information that pertains to the illegal actions committed by a sitting President we are truely lost.

Justice should not come with a price tag, we pay taxes to support our government, if that government has used our tax dollars to wage an Illegal war, then we should be entitled to a waiver.

I think we should urge congress to re-examine FOIA requirements in their next session, right after campaign finance reform.
