One of the neat things we have in the US and in Britain is the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. What the FOIA does is force our respective governments to give us any government documents that we ask for assuming they aren't Classified or Top Secret. It doesn't sound that "neat" but the reality is that it's all we've got to stop said governments from dicking us around and dragging their heels.
What's also neat is that there is now a FOIA blog run by a dude in the UK.
Check out the UK Freedom of Information Act Blog run by Steve Wood.
Don't worry--it says it's the "UK" FOIA blog, but it covers FOIA in the US, too.
This blog has been added to my blogroll so if you want to find it in the future, that's where you can get the URL.
