White House must make visitor logs public

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that White House visitor logs maintained by the U.S. Secret Service are agency records and, as a result, are subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act if not covered by one of the law’s many exemptions.

...
Judicial Watch had asked the court to order the release of Secret Service logs of White House visitors from Jan. 20, 2009, to August, 10, 2009. The request came after the Obama administration had claimed that the visitor logs “are not agency records subject to the FOIA.”


Will they actually obey the court decision? They haven't so far.

Are we now going to find out who Dick Cheney met with to discuss our energy policy, is he going to sue again claiming executive privilege?

Hmmm...this administration didn't either, and I didn't hear the extremists crying then. But who cares about hypocrisy and blatant self serving coverage of bull crap.

So, let's see that...2006 and 2007...yet no visitor logs. Let's see the outrage....hmmm....probably not. Guess it'll be tea time.

I almost always read what I post - and I knew this was yesterday's story. So what? I don't get your point in bringing it up.

I will admit after reviewing the Cheney logs that the instances are similar. The lawsuit was dropped in Cheney's case.
