An amazing site.
I found MuckRock while looking for documents released by mistake by DHS. DHS Releases Trove of Documents Related to Wrong “Aurora” in Response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request (Maybe the DHS needs a topic map?)
I’ve signed up for their mailing list. Thinking about what government lies I want to read. 😉
Looks like a great place to use your data mining/analysis skills.
Enjoy!
