76. I guess the 'federal sunshine laws' are no longer...
Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 11:10 AM by Q
...in play? These same laws were used to force the Clinton government to release ALL documents related to the health care task force. The law clearly states that all work product of these types of task forces are open to public scrutiny IF there are 'civilians' involved.

- It's clear that civilians (non-government participants) were involved with the Cheney energy task force...so why doesn't these laws apply? The answer is that the Bushies say they're above the law...and the SC and the Democrats agree.
