The wonderful team at the National Security Archives (NSA) are supporting the numerous FOIA requests I have on the boil for the book. While I am just following Darfur, they manage to keep tabs on everything you can imagine. Each week they lodge multiple requests in the public interest, and keep chasing them until they get documents released. In short, I am a huge fan.
Apropos my previous post, it’s encouraging to see that this week, the NSA got some positive signs about the way this Administration is handling FOIA requests. A document which had previously been withheld was released to them with an accompanying letter stating:
“Pursuant to new Attorney General Guidelines for FOIPA processing, your request has been re-opened under the FOIPA number listed above. We are currently searching, gathering, and processing any newly discovered material and reprocessing materials that were previously released to you.”
Keep it up Team Obama!
