AAN Joins Coalition Lobbying for an Improved FOIA
The coalition was formed in order to support the passage of several bills that have been introduced in Congress to improve the Freedom of Information Act. The group hopes to educate the public and lawmakers about FOIA by providing examples where its use exposed government corruption, or where a government agency denied or failed to respond in a timely manner to a FOIA request that had the potential to do the same. If you have such an example that you'd like to share, contact AAN Executive Director Richard Karpel at 202/289-8484 or rkarpel-at-aan.com.

OC Weekly Series Spurs Federal Indictmentsnew
R. Scott Moxley, a writer for the Santa Ana, Calif., alt-weekly, first reported on Dr. George Steven Kooshian (pictured) in July 2001, sparking an FBI investigation. The article detailed allegations of illegal practices, which included administering saline solution -- passed off and billed as expensive medication -- to AIDS patients. Because of the doctor's good reputation in the local gay community, Moxley's series of six investigative stories was at times bitterly criticized. Kooshian (and one of his former nurses) will be arraigned Aug. 1 on 25 counts of health-care fraud and other charges.
