Justice Department Accused of Keeping Public Records from Being Released

President Obama pledged to run a transparent administration that respects public access to records.
But an internal audit of the Justice Department recently found excessive secrecy, according to Slate.
The audit found “persistent misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of certain classification processes.”
For example, a review of documents found that information was marked as secret despite containing no classified information, Slate reported.
