What on this rapidly melting earth could they possibly be sniffing around for that they can't already get through a Google search or quick scan of the Drudge Report? Did they really need to go ...
President Bush signed into law the "Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2007" on Monday at his Texas ranch. The bill makes changes to the Freedom of Information Act designed to expand access to government documents. Provisions in the legislation require government agencies to process FOIA requests in 20 days, establish a tracking system for media and individuals to follow the status of their requests, and direct Federal agencies to release information in response to a request unless an official finding that public disclosure of the information could harm national ...
