Sorry I was in a meeting so this might have been touched on but this is incredibly hypocritical. Obama was going to bring a "new level of transparency" to government and as soon as his AG gets into some trouble he executive orders the documentation. It's absolutely a cover-up. Calling it anything else is semantics.
I fully expect it from Republicans who have no problems with trampling the rule of law in the name of national security, but when you ride the white horse of transparency into the Oval Office, maybe you should at least pretend to value said transparency?
Huh? I never said the John Doe stuff would explode.
eznark, you know I love you dude -- we have that baseball thing and some playful football banter once in a while, but you gotta be better than this.
Transparency does not equal giving up state secrets, and while we all know that Obama has let a lot of us down with this particular pledge, couching it terms of a "white knight" and a "coverup" tells me you need to take a couple hours away from the 'net. It's rotting your brain dude.
I'm not saying there is no use-case for it, there are and have been in the past. Concealing information into a DoJ gun walking program meant to ensnare Mexican cartels has no national security implications.
How do you know?
