In reality, however, the RW>executive branch and federal courts are stretching the law's RW>exemptions to give that impulse freer rein. As a result, this precious RW>piece of legislation is fading into obsolescence. Hey, now that Clinton's going into the White House, the press should be able to have a field day with FOIA requests for records from the last 12 years!
