Dear Michael [and all other members of FOIAdvocates],
In addition to my previous mailing: there are two sites focussing on FOIA,
in Dutch: Wob. On both sites selections of Wob-requests, some litigation
docs and lots of disclosures. Allmost all in Dutch only, but Michael I know
your Dutch/Flamish is fluent...... smile
- The site of freelance investigative journalist Brenno de Winter
www.bigwobber.nl
- The site of the invetigative departments of several of the public
broadcasters
www.onjo.nl
Best,
Roger Vleugels
Legal advisor and lecturer FOIA & Wob
