"It's extremely disappointing," said Anne Weismann, the group's chief counsel. Obama is relying on a legal argument that "continues one of the bad, anti-transparency, pro-secrecy approaches that the Bush administration had taken. And it seems completely at odds with the president's commitment . . . to bring a new level of transparency to his government."
What transparency? Everything Obama and this administration has done has been behind closed doors, with no oversight, no time to read legislation before it's voted on, etc., etc. Hope & Change my azz...
