Mr. Obama’s Promise of Transparency Hopes for an effective law that would protect the public’s access to essential news from inside government have been dealt a severe setback by the Obama administration. *snip*As president, Mr. Obama has been progressively more protective of executive powers in such sensitive areas as state secrets and detainee policy. It’s time for him to recall that in winning the White House, he spoke vigorously in favor of a shield law that trusts the judiciary to settle disclosure conflicts. The latest hedging from the White House does not deliver on his promise for a new era of openness. Instead, it signals that some in his administration may be intent on killing a fair shield bill.
