WikiLeaks v. FOIA

Comparison of WikiLeaks publications and requests granted and denied by the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. This chart expresses TOTAL information grants given. It is an expression of quantity not quality.

Data for WLs is on a month-to-month basis, while FOIA requests are yearly totals this is due to FOIA annual reports only releasing data in yearly totals.

2011 data will be the most unreliable since it isn't over and FOIA reports are not released until the end of the fiscal year.
