Who wants to be a millionaire ... or ... Bushco FOIA gras

The Republican Pate' and your tax dollars at work:
Tax dollars to fund study on restricting public data

The federal government will pay a texas law school $1 million to do research aimed at rolling back the amount of sensitive data available to the press and public through freedom-of-information requests.
There's no money for vets or the troops, yet somehow Bushco comes up with a cool million dollars for restricting access to our information that we already have access to.

And who did they give the million dollars to?
I'm so glad you asked: St. Mary's University School of Law professor Jeffrey Addicott, yes the Jeffy Addicott who's a former senior counsel for the U.S. Army's Special Forces and author of the book "Winning the War on Terror". BTW, he also authored MILITARY TRIBUNALS ARE CONSTITUTIONAL. (It seems that the Supreme Court disagreed with him.)
