Lies and secrets
Thursday, February 14th, 2002Seems that W is working hard to increase Presidential secrecy in Washington, all of course in the name of national security. This is of course nothing new; Nixon was most famous for tarnishing the phrase “executive privilege,” his term for holding the President above the law. The current administration wants to hide Reagan administration documents from public view. Never mind that the Republicans were all about public scrutiny of Clinton documents while he was still in the White House.
John Henry Falk got to the essence of it: official secrets, he once said, always exist to hide official lying.
