I received a reply from Nelson D. Hermilla, Chief of US DOJ FOI/PA Branch Civil Rights Division yesterday to my 9-25-08 FOI/PA request referenced above in a 9/25/08 post. The DOJ numbered my FOI/PA.: 2008-0520(6-099). However, if memory serves, it's the first time that they assigned a date received- 9/25/-08- to one of my requests. As they say, there's a first time for everything. At any rate, the DOJ maintains that it has a large inventory of FOI/PA's and they'll get to me on FIFO basis. Incidentally, in the past, I've always have gotten along with the FBI and their agents. I want to end the psychological torture. That's not unreasonable, is it? After all, I'm an American and I have rights, right?
