Bush Secrecy
As much as I want to trust my government, it’s difficult to do when everything from this administration is wrapped in a shroud of secrecy. It isn’t possible to link all the secrecy issues that involve this administration. According to the Information Security Oversight Office, the Bush administration created an astonishing 33 million new secrets during its first year in office.
Fortunately a federal appeals court has refused a Bush administration’s request to stop a lawsuit that delves into Vice President Dick Cheney’s behind closed doors meetings with energy industry executives and lobbyists during the writing of the energy policy.
It’s difficult to trust a government that continually refuses to reveal public information, and at the same time has a lust for our individual liberties and personal rights.

“I think the burden is on those people who think he didn’t have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are.”
