I always used to find when I was actively writing that having someone sub a piece for me was something I instinctively disliked but actually longed for in the end. It's always a very difficult task to do the research, then write the piece and then do your own subbing. Big media journos are really spoiled, right.

Quote:Abzug demanded that individuals should have the right to see the information collected on them. Bush apparently blustered at the potential for exposing the secrets of the CIA to the light of day. Bush remarked (I imagine with clenched teeth and a scowl), "CHAOS was a proper foreign intelligence activity… but there may have been some improper accumulation of domestic material." Bush's solution again was to destroy all the documents.
Abzug replied, "In light of the enormous harm done to individuals and the admitted evasion of both criminal law and the Constitution in the maintenance of these files.. we must notify these individuals and make amends!' Eventually, The CIA agreed to allow individuals to file FOIA requests but the CIA, as in the case with requests from the BPP, fought releasing the documents for individual requests every step of the way (71).
