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."
