FOIA officers say Obama White House thwarting release of public information

[Dori]

Though President Obama vowed to run the most transparent administration in history, his White House has quietly empowered itself to censor or delay the release of information in ways that not even Richard Nixon envisioned during the Watergate scandal, according to federal workers on the front lines of processing open records requests.

The workers, who spoke to The Washington Times only on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, said that an April 15, 2009, memo from White House Counsel Gregory Craig to all federal agencies has slowed, and in some cases nixed, the public release of government documents that would have been released under prior administrations.

Good find, Dori. So much for the most transparent administration in history, according to the Liar in Chief.

Keep your mouth shut or get arrested.

The transparent administration has sent in the brown shirts to keep everything covered up.
