One of my main complaints with this administration is that they have been one of the most secretive administrations in modern history. And I don't like it. Our democracy is contingent on a transparent government. This administration has been working extensively to curtail any and all info from getting to the public. Except of course when it is a leak to smear someone who disagrees with your Iraq policy.

So anyways it was interesting to read this article, we'll see what happens.

Gonzales Urged to Rescind FOIA Rules

"The Associated Press and other news organizations are encouraging Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to rescind a policy restricting public access to government information.

The change was put in place by Gonzales' predecessor, John Ashcroft, shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

'Where agencies were once encouraged to disclose unless disclosure would do harm, they are currently encouraged to withhold if there are legal grounds for doing so,' Tom Curley, AP president and chief executive officer, said in a letter to Gonzales. 'We think this change was a terrible mistake.'

In an AP interview this week, Gonzales said he would reconsider the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guidance established by Ashcroft."

Well let's do it. You want us to think that you aren't doing anything wrong behind the scenes? Then change your policy, so that we have access to find that out.

Ok I am tired, I don't much feel like writing anymore, have a good night.
