The National Security Archive has awarded it's 2012 Rosemary Woods award for worst performance in open government to the Department of Justice, partially for its ignoring and failing to implement AG Holder and President Obama's FOIA Policies.
I've long advocated a non-career person who is over the bureacrats at DOJ (and other agencies) that's sole purpose is to implement FOIA transparency. Maybe this award will give this idea some traction.
Good point about the need for an "openness tsar" that can actually force drastic reforms to FOIA.
