This should increase confidence in regulators, the dispassionate
application of those regulations even to yourself, publicly. If only
we could be sure other regulators would act like this!
> Those that have faith in regulators might like to ponder the article at

>
> "You couldn't make this up. Richard Thomas, the UK information
> commissioner, has found himself guilty of breaching the law he was
> appointed to enforce.
>
> "In an extraordinary new judgement, Thomas says that he broke sections
> 10 and 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 by failing to respond
> properly to a complaint by the environmental group, Friends of the
> Earth (Foe). He also breached the Act's code of practice."
