In an odd way, thank you. This is a very difficult subject to discuss and it's very useful to read confirmations of these thoughts. I had a conversation with a hired-gun researcher to find information on politicians to help others win elections, etc. He told me that nobody within their right journalistic mind would use FOIA to any large extent just because of the time it takes.

If journalists aren't able to easily gather information within the public domain, then there are clear issues that need to be resolved.
