Freedom Of Information Act Question |
|
I was just wondering what the AP could do about Bush not releasing these document a few moths back when the AP originally asked for ALL his records under the FOIA request.
Also, why has no one picked up on this cover up? I would think that the White House covering up the Presidents military record would be a lot bigger story than his actual service.

But hasn't the AP gone to court over this?

6. Yes, what have they done about it. |
|
To me, that is a story in and of itself.

why would the media make this a story....for vrying out loud we have a president who lied to the country and to the troops to get a war and the media is giving him a pass on it....so why in the hell would the media give a damn about Bush (and especially Cheney) not enforcing the FOIA?

9. Not specifically "the" FOIA, but the fact that this is the most |
|
secretive administration ever. If they have nothing to hide, why are they trying to hide everything?
