Freedom Of Information Act Question
I was just wondering what the AP could do about Bush not releasing these document a few moths back when the AP originally asked for ALL his records under the FOIA request.

Also, why has no one picked up on this cover up? I would think that the White House covering up the Presidents military record would be a lot bigger story than his actual service.

6. Yes, what have they done about it.
To me, that is a story in and of itself.

7. Why is it a story?
why would the media make this a story....for vrying out loud we have a president who lied to the country and to the troops to get a war and the media is giving him a pass on it....so why in the hell would the media give a damn about Bush (and especially Cheney) not enforcing the FOIA?

9. Not specifically "the" FOIA, but the fact that this is the most
secretive administration ever. If they have nothing to hide, why are they trying to hide everything?
