The Justice Dept's Attorney Workforce Diversity Study -- Uncensored

[ChompySnack]

>>> With no notice, the Justice Department recently posted to its Website a long-awaited report. Justice spent $2 million for a study on the racial and gender diversity of its attorney workforce. The report has been complete for almost two years, but the Department stalled its release, despite numerous Freedom of Information Act requests.

The report appeared on one of the FOIA sections of the Department's Website sometime in October. It's one of the most heavily-redacted government documents in recent memory. Even Congress' report on 9/11 had a smaller percentage of its contents blacked out. The Memory Hole has posted a version with no redactions; instead, those sections are highlighted in yellow, so you can easily zoom in on the parts originally deemed too embarassing for us to see.

So apparently when they released the file with sections "blacked out" they did it by just overlaying black squares on the PDF document, and not actually deleting the contents of the report.

I'm so glad that Republicans are stupid.

The Newsday article about the report was published on October 20th, 2003, so it's safe to assume the report was published sometime before that; by that measure, this thread doesn't meet the criteria for posting in the Latest Breaking News Forum.
