Since Obama pledged on his first day in office to usher in a "new era" of openness, "nothing has changed," says David -Sobel, a lawyer who litigates FOIA cases. "For a president who said he was going to bring unprecedented transparency to government, you would certainly expect more than the recycling of old Bush secrecy policies."
Its written in a strange way. As if Newsweek can't figure out who in the Obama administration is keeping him from being as open as he wants to be. For instance, this sentence:
The hard line appears to be no accident.
So it wasn't just an accident??
I'd love to know how someone 'accidentally' gets secretive.
In upcoming weeks, I'll be watching to see if Newsweek wakes up and smells the coffee, as the people from the LA Times have.
In this blog, they openly mock Biden's private meetings:
And we've wondered aloud how this Democratic VP's private meetings with unnamed people on unnamed subjects differs from the private meetings with unnamed people that his evil predecessor had that got so many Democratic senators and representatives worried about nefarious secrets.
Its a good read. And good for the LA Times to take notice.
