Obama Launches Review of Secrecy Policy

UPDATED: June 4, 2009
UPDATED: June 6, 2009

This article in today's Washington Post seems to bear very good news. Only time will tell whether it goes beyond more pretty words and soundbytes.

In predictable Washington Post fashion, many of the comments exhibit a very anti-Obama, pro-W regime bias (in fact total dumbass archfixxxer actually says, “sometimes ignorance is bliss”).

UPDATE: In retrospect, I realize I unfairly charactized the Washington Post. While the MSM has almost universally failed miserably in offering any real journalism or critical thinking in quite some time, I can hardly be this harsh toward the Post when compared with the other Capital paper, the Moonie/Wingnut Washington Times.

UPDATE 2: For a fresh view of the utter wingnutery of the Washington Times, see this article by Wesley Pruden, editor emeritus. For all Pruden's railing about Obama's apologizing for America's "manifold sins against civilization," an apology was the largest glaring omission from Obama's speech (even as Secretary Clinton had the nerve to criticize China for human rights violations of the past). Mr. Pruden's example of the mote versus the beam seems terribly misdirected.
