Questionable FOIA Oversight Move
This GovExec article
explains how the White House is being attacked for shifting a Freedom of
Information Act oversight office from the National Archives to the Department
of Justice. The creation of this office was signed into law by President Bush in
December in order to increase and improve government transparency, but critics
of the shifting of a key ombudsman position say this is a shady maneuver designed
to undermine the intent of the law.

The President is consistent in coveting secrecy in almost every move. What more can be said about this latest move related to freedom of information. Mr. Bush continues to invoke a fear of terrorism at virtually every turn of events.
