Why FOIA Requests Are Made

National Public Radio has this story on a FOIA request it jointly made with ProPublica.  The story discusses an ongoing FOIA request made to TriCare (the Defense Department's Health Care Organization), why the request was made and the requesters struggle to receive documents.

It's a good illustration of problems FOIA requesters have with agencies and why they make those requests in the first place.
