FOIA

Last week the New York Times did a story on Russ Kick’s site, the Memory Hole, and it’s been quite revealing to go through the documents on his site. Kinda like the Smoking Gun, but it’s about the banal conspiracies of everyday bureaucrats instead of the dirty laundry of celebrities. I’m about to do one of the things he suggests–request a video from the Secret Service–using the Freedom of Information Act. Sure beats Blockbuster.
