@digiphile @gingermccall @DHSgov James is a great advocate and a strong choice for OGIS. I look forward to working with him in that role.

@corizarek Glad to hear it. He hasn't returned a phone call for comment on his new role in #opengov, which includes liasing with the press.

Here's my shot at finding the silver lining of the new FOIA ombudsman being from DHS: I'll feel justified drinking this #FOIAFriday?

Fox, meet henhouse. New #FOIA ombudsman's record implies dubious regard for the human right he'll be "protecting." | http://t.co/DtBj3OaO0q

Disappointed: Archivist chooses an agency #FOIA officer, rather than an #opengov/requester advocate, to replace #OGIS director Miriam Nisbet
