See Dick Run (and hide)
The Washington Post has a piece about today’s court decision ordering Vice President Cheney’s office to release information related to his Energy Task Force.
The administration cleverly formed the task force of only government employees. By doing this they allowed themselves to operate their meetings in secret (check out this link for the government regulation that allows them to do this).
While this act of cleverness allowed the Energy Task Force to meet in private, another law still made the documents produced by the Task Force open to public inspection. The Natural Resources Defense Group won a lawsuit similar to the one decided today and successfully gained access to thousands of pages of documents. Even more are sure to follow.
