A commenter asked that I link or point to my earlier comments about the Faster FOIA Bill -- which I point out does nothing at all to make the FOIA faster. It sets up a commission to come up with non-binding ideas, and for those of you with short memories, how did that debt commission work out?
Here are some of my previous posts -- the first ones are from the last session of Congress, when the bill first reared its head:

This post is from April when it was weakened and then reported out of committee.
