The law has timelines. So does life. The U.S. Embassy broke both. Justice delayed is justice denied. "It's time for action, not excuses. Stand with us to demand what's right. https://t.co/NGFs5g2XJz #JusticeForKelvin #FOIAFail #HumanRights #VeteransDeserveBetter #AccountabilityNow

Who even uses CD's anymore? That’s what AFPF's @tkimbrell133 got in response to his FOIA request: a 56KB spreadsheet that could’ve been emailed. Outdated tech and inefficiency make transparency in government a joke. #FOIAFail

And epic #FOIAfail by @CENTCOM "The basic function of the Freedom of Information Act (#FOIA) is to ensure informed citizens, vital to the functioning of a democratic society." The basic function of an 8 year wait is to thwart oversight and accountability.

.@USTreasury #FOIA office trying to give DoD a run for it's money. Almost 10 years later, they still haven't fulfilled this request. Another agency, another #FOIAfail

The Pentagon has plans for dealing with China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and terrorists. @DeptofDefense is happy for you to pay for it all, but doesn't want you to know about them. #FOIA #FOIAfail

More proof that the #FOIA process is hopelessly broken. (And that leaks are vital to understanding what the government is doing behind closed doors!) Almost a decade after I put in this request to @NSAGov, they come back with a GLOMAR response. #FOIAfail

If you needed further evidence that the #FOIA process is broken -- and makes a mockery of law -- here's the final response to one of my requests. It was just released today. It's from 2014! https://t.co/2g5VEiBOUJ

The Golden Padlock Award recognizes the most secretive publicly-funded agency or person in the United States. The “honor” is handed out annually at #IRE23. Anyone come to mind? Make your nominations by April 20. https://t.co/xdrgmihk0o #FOIAfail

As soon as I digest all this vital information, I'm going to sit down and write up a seven-year-old news story from it. #FOIA #FOIAfail

You can't say that @ODNIgov #FOIA office doesn't have a sense of humor. They wait nine years before finally sending my request to OSD/JS #FOIA to begin processing during #SunshineWeek! #FOIAfail

You know it must be #SunshineWeek when the #FOIA office tells you that the request you submitted to @ODNIgov in 2014 has just been transferred to OSD/JS to finally begin to be processed after a 9-year wait. Let the sun shine in! #FOIAfail

Yet another letter of "regret" from DoD. It's been 8 years and we still haven't completed your #FOIA request. You get a month (!!!!!!) to decide whether you want to continue with the processing of this request "...you may, of course, submit a new request at any time" #FOIAfail
