My post asking for support for the FOIA modernization law proposed by Senator Patrick Leahy was linked by an extremely interesting blog written by a former FBI attorney named Scott Hodes who is currently in practice as a Washington D.C. based FOIA attorney.
Disclosure: (i'm jealous, that's my dream hometown -- in my mind I live there some days)
THIS is a good blog. Check out the FOIA blog.
Excerpt on the Gonzalez-driven morale problem over to the DOJ: ....
During his tenure at DOJ, Koppel has worked on a number of FOIA matters. In my dealings with him during my time at both OIP and the FBI, I found him to be highly competent and professional. (AWESOME, thanks Scott !!)
Disclosure on another post: ... (Note--I was the FBI attorney assigned this case from the time it was filed until August of 2002). The records were for his book on late President Nixon. ....
Hope I gave you readers enough to whet your appetite. Everything I read at the FOIA blog was top-drawer scintillating.
AND, here's something historic: First EVER Carnival of Open Records.
What kind of cotton candy does one bring to the FIRST EVER carnival of open records???

Thanks Scott, it's great to have another informative read !!
