Now that Moussaoui has been convicted...

[wildbilln864]

someone should file a freedom of information request about the CVRs from flight 93 and the others that they're keeping secret. Can't this be done?

1. We can always ask.

But with this administration the answer will most certainly be "No."

I have no faith that I will live long enough to get all the answers I want. Maybe if the Dems retake everything, but even then I wouldn't hold my breath.

2. Here is how go about doing it!

Like all federal agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) generally is required under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to disclose records requested in writing by any person. However, agencies may withhold information pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the statute. The FOIA applies only to federal agencies and does not create a right of access to records held by Congress, the courts, or by state or local government agencies. Each state has its own public access laws that should be consulted for access to state and local records.
