...as he considers everything a secret on par with National Security Information.President Bush set limits yesterday on White House cooperation in three political disputes, saying he is determined to assert presidential prerogatives on such matters as domestic eavesdropping and congressional inquiries into Hurricane Katrina.
In a mid-morning news conference, Bush told reporters he is skeptical of a proposed law imposing new oversights on his use of the National Security Agency to listen in on electronic communications. He also said that he will block White House aides from testifying about the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, and that he will not release official White House photos of himself with former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Don't we, as U.S. citizens, have the right to an open, transparent, accountable government? I understand the need for secrets in things like the military and intelligence, but pictures of Bush with lobbyists, or disaster response information?
Give me a break. Bush is simply trying to hide incompetence and possible unethical activity.
He's a disgrace.
