A new report has revealed the U.S. government refused or censored
freedom of information requests from the public more last year than at
any other time during the Obama presidency. The Associated Press
analysis determined that the Obama administration cited legal provisions
for withholding information more often in 2012 than in any previous
year — especially a rule intended to protect national security. The
CIA
denied 60 percent of information requests in 2012, compared to 49
percent a year earlier. We speak to Jack Gillum of the Associated Press
and Alexander Abdo of the American Civil Liberties Union.
