Interesting that Benson ignores all the FOIA denials under the Cheney/Ashcroft/Gonzales regime operating under “W”.
While in NONsensitive areas and issues, FOIA needs to be honored, it’s interesting that Republicans such as Issa, Cruz, and Boehner have no problem demanding that even classified true security issues be revealed, so they can criticize this administration for yes, carrying on exactly what Bush folks did, except this administration does seem to be much more concerned about compliance with the law. The problems of course ARE keyed to the “Patriot Act”, perhaps the worst piece of legislation the Republicans ever pushed through on a “petrified in terror public”.
