Is Ombudsman Already in Jeopardy? – washingtonpost.com (via FOIA Blog)
Here’s a story not to loose track of:
Bush proposed shifting a newly created ombudsman’s position from the National Archives and Records Administration to the Department of Justice.
The FOIA Blog defeats the administrations claims smartly, noting the “inherent conflict” between the Justice Department’s role in defending the government FOIA disputes and the new ombudsman’s role of ensuring openness.
I hope this story gets the attention it deserves.
