President Obama campaigned on making his administration one of the most open and transparent administrations that public has ever seen.

somehow i'm thinking that giving your DOJ the authority to lie and say the records don't exist for FOIA requests misses that mark of transparency.

A proposed revision to Freedom of Information Act rules would allow federal agencies to lie to citizens and reporters seeking certain records, telling them the records don’t exist.

The Justice Department has proposed the change as part of a large revision of FOIA rules for federal agencies. Specifically, the rule would direct government agencies who are denying a request under an established FOIA exemption to “respond to the request as if the excluded records did not exist,” rather than citing the relevant exemption.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with wanting to hide Fast and Furious records, right? anyone?
 
I can only imagine the outrage of the pinheads if this kind of thing was being promoted by Conservatives or a Republican administration......

the double standard is alive and well.....

With a corrupt media refusing to drive this important of a story as well as others- the Obama administration can have confidence of being the most corrupt administration in history.
 
Hey, Yurt - ever notice how the righties always defend each other, and never call each other out?

Ever notice that?
