Obama knows how to keep a secret...

[alexpgp]

In early January, the Bush administration rejected a FOIA request by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for the text of a proposed international anti-counterfeiting treaty, claiming that the treaty was a classified national security secret.

This was considered by many to be a little far-fetched, as the treaty negotiations involve nearly three dozen countries around the world. That, plus allegations that key sections of the treaty were drafted by corporate lobbyists for the entertainment industry make it all the more stunningly incomprehensible that the Obama administration has similarly declared the treaty to be secret, claiming national security concerns.

I just can't imagine what could possibly be so secret about something that potentially could become "the law of the land" if passed by the Senate.

Cheers...

Never fails to amaze me how many people actually think that Obama is any different from Bush.

Have buyers remorse yet?

Change. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
