The Archive filed 895 requests, representing about 8.4 percent of the total, considerably more inquiries than the 20 largest U.S. newspapers and all major television and cable news networks combined.

The group?s spokesperson had left for the Thanksgiving holiday and could not be reached for comment.

A sampling of the group?s requests: records regarding U.S. drug policy in Latin America, declassified atomic energy commission files, information on Indian affairs in the 1960s, reports and briefing papers on an alleged X-ray rocket interceptor program under Reagan, and any information on China?s nuclear program.

Also among top FOIA watchdogs are the American Civil Liberties Union and Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog. Both groups filed more than 50 requests. [Only thing major media seems interested om are their advertisers and to report some scriblle withou pissing them off.] Sas sick fucking day for the 1st amendment or any of the others...
