APPETIZERS

Theory guides; experiment decides. — motto of analytical chemist Izaak Maurits Kolthoff

Theory is a good thing, but a good experiment is forever.
— Peter Leonidovich Kapitza, Soviet physicist

The future is already here—It’s just not very evenly distributed.
— William Gibson, science fiction author

IFOIA, NEW RESOURCE FROM THE REPORTERS COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS ONLINE TOOL TO CREATE, SEND, AND TRACK FEDERAL AND STATE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS

For those wanting to get information via the FOIA or Privacy Act, this is a website set up especially to help you do that. You can even deliver your FOIA request to the relevant agency with the help of iFOIA. iFOIA can be found at www.ifoia.org. At www.rcfp.org, you can also get help from their Federal FOIA Appeals Guide.

Uncovering and bringing to public attention the illegal goings on at Federal agencies is one of the best ways to help fight back.
