US DOJ Accused Of Intentionally Using 21 Year Old System To Frustrate FOIA Requests

Failure by design

President Obama's "most transparent administration ever" is being accused of "failure by design" in the DoJ’s protocols for responding to public requests. The FOIA law states that agencies must "make reasonable efforts to search for the records in electronic form or format," but as The Guardian reports, a new lawsuit alleges DoJ intentionally conducts inadequate searches of its records using a decades-old computer system when queried by citizens looking for records that should be available to the public.
