Now the gov't has to waste time and resources showing that there was no relationship between said actions and the law to quiet some of the sheep.

So what you're saying is that because the original poster misrepresented the facts in the title of the thread that this is going to somehow be the butterfly that flaps its wings and whips up a perfect storm of wasted government resources? You honestly think the bush admin is going to look into this? I think you have to much time on your hands.
The foia exist because some people had the idea that in a well functioning republic there might be some use in a certain amount of transparency in the government. Perhaps there are people who attempt to misuse such information. For you to claim that the purpose of the foia is to give nosy busybodies something to do is ridiculous. The existence of homosexuality and abortion will ensure that nosy busybodies are occupied for the rest of eternity.
