JW VERDICT: First off, what is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?
CHRIS FARRELL, JW DIRECTOR OF INVESTIGATIONS: FOIA is an open records law that allows average everyday citizens, through public interest groups like Judicial Watch, to gain access to government records, documents, and all forms of recorded information. The purpose is to help American citizens get an idea of what their government is up to, what it does, and how it operates.
