by on

According to a log [Word document: Listing of media requests] detailing FOI requests made by media organizations to the Pentagon for the period covering 2000 through February 2005, the National Security Archive, an independent non-governmental research institute, far outpaced the number of requests made by news agencies, including AP, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the New York Times, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. Blogger Michael Petrelis filed the FOI request to obtain the data from the Pentagon. This news was posted by Raw Story.
