The Associated Press is a bunch of self-serving jackasses. Bitching and moaning is all they seem capable of doing - other than attacking the administration at every opportunity. This isn't a news organization, it's a political vendetta.

    Based on what evidence, rockman? The strength of any democracy relies on the transparency of its operations. There is a federal law that mandates that federal agencies comply with requests for information and this article makes very clear that most federal agencies are not complying with that law or at best not really trying very hard to do so. As a citizen, I've got a real problem with that. The government is a function of the people, and as such the people have a right to know how it is functioning. Oh, and the administration wouldn't be getting attacked if there wasn't anything to attack it on.
