So why can't the State Department's inspector general, after conducting an investigation of State's persistent stonewalling of public enquiries about former Secretary Hillary Clinton's unorthodox email server arrangement, use the word?
Instead, the IG report, released Thursday, beats around the bush, describing "lack of oversight by leadership" as one of the factors that "appear to contribute to inaccurate and incomplete responses."
The Office of the Secretary's Executive Secretariat, which is responsible for Freedom of Information Act requests regarding the secretary and other high State officials, "has not taken any corrective actions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of FOIA searches," the report noted.
The Obama administration pledged to be the "most transparent" ever, but the inspector general found that a March 2010 Associated Press FOIA request "for copies of all of former Secretary Clinton's public and private calendars and schedules" were responded to in November of that year "with records that were nonresponsive."
