I agree that the system will work if FOIA is returned to its original intent as indicated in Obama's memo.
It did not work for the last eight years when Bush, through an executive order rather than by asking Congress to change the law if he thought it needed changing after 9/11, radically and unilaterally altered the intent of FOIA.
That is not how the framers of the Constitution envisioned the system of checks and balances working.
