Gawker FOIA's Rumsfeld's FOIA request
Since Donald Rumsfeld announced that his book would be accompanied by a trove of previously classified documents, I've been wondering how exactly these documents were declassified. Gawker took an interesting approach: filing a Freedom of Information Act request seeking whatever Rumsfeld sought under FOIA.
The result? Roughly one hundred pages of memos form 2002 and 2003, most of which did not make it into the document library on Rumsfeld's website. I've only had a chance to take a cursory look at them, but many of the documents are on key topics involving Iraq and postwar planning.
