Abstract
- The article offers commentary on the statement U.S. President Barack Obama made about eliminating secrecy from U.S. government agencies, and discusses the effect of secrecy on ex-U.S. President George W. Bush's terms in office. The author states how Bush affected the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, and how he made it difficult to obtain documents about past U.S. presidents. Obama repealed Bush's presidential order that heirs had a right to withhold documents concerning past administrations.
