    bystander

    I hope that means they're running into the right kind of heat.

    I agree that the FDL page should be updated - it would be easy for staffers to misunderstand, since there are 2 FOIA amendments in the supplemental appropriations bill and one of them is positive (Open FOIA Act).

    It should be specified that it's the Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009 that should be removed from the bill (or voted against if it remains).
