[edit] Judge orders IRS to turn over data

"A federal judge has found the Internal Revenue Service in defiance of a 2006 court order telling it to turn over tax data to a researcher in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case that stretches back more than 30 years.

Researcher Susan Long has fought the IRS since she won an FOIA lawsuit against the agency while a graduate student at the University of Washington in 1976. At that time, a federal judge ordered the IRS to make certain tax-data tables available to Long.

But the IRS still has not complied, and the agency petitioned the court to have the 1976 order changed so it would not have to turn over some of the information."
