Editorials - On the Public's Right to Know - The day Ashcroft censored Freedom of Information "Yet without fanfare, the attorney general simply quashed the FOIA....rather than asking federal officials to pay special attention when the public's right to know might collide with the government's need to safeguard our security, Ashcroft instead asked them to consider whether "institutional, commercial and personal privacy interests could be implicated by disclosure of the information." Even more disturbing, he wrote: "When you carefully consider FOIA requests and decide to withhold records, in whole or in part, you can be assured that the Department of Justice will defend your decisions unless they lack a sound legal basis or present an unwarranted risk of adverse impact on the ability of other agencies to protect other important records." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/01/06/ED125108.DTL
Ashcroft Urges Caution With Records - By Gina Holland, Associated Press Writer 10/16/01 Washington (AP) - Obtaining government records may be more difficult under a Bush administration policy change made a month after the terrorist attacks. Attorney General John Ashcroft directed agency leaders to be cautious in releasing records to journalists and others. He said agencies must "carefully consider" things like threats to national security and the effectiveness of law enforcement. Ashcroft also said that agencies that legitimately turn down requests made under the Freedom of Information Act will have the backing of the Justice Department. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011016/pl/attacks_ashcroft_foia_2.html
