Credit the Associated Press for prompting Attorney General Eric Holder to review the process for
Freedom Of Information Act requests after an AP report showed such requests were being routinely denied.

“Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee he found statistics on Freedom of Information Act denials analyzed by The Associated Press 'troubling',” AP reported. “The AP has reported that one year into its promise of greater transparency, the administration was more often citing FOIA 'exceptions' to withhold records, even as requests for information decreased.”

Let's hope it results in more openness and not just more excuses.
