Judge Orders Release of Energy Documents

[radfringe]

can we get a similar order for the release of documents from Cheney's terrorism taskforce meetings pre-9/11? Might be the first time bush* inc. tells the truth when they say NO such documents exist because we didn't have any terrorism taskforce meetings prior to 9-11

WASHINGTON - A federal judge told the government to release more documents related to a White House task force that met behind closed doors to develop a national energy policy.

Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group, and the environmental group the Sierra Club want the records as part of an inquiry into whether energy executives and lobbyists helped draft a policy friendly to their industries early in President Bush's first year in office.

The administration maintains that only government employees were members of the task force, which disbanded in 2001.

Judicial Watch has alleged that former Enron chairman Ken Lay and lobbyists Mark Racicot, Haley Barbour and Thomas Kuhn may have participated.

2. I am thinking we will be years finding where this group robbed us blind.

It goes from the top and sort of fillers into all the tax payers money and how to get it. If we think some women getting welfare money while her husband hid in a back room is bad this will knock your socks off.

3. I wish...

they would just release the Cheney documents... but nope, "matters of national security" and all that... I hope someone leaks them to Cryptome, so the whole world can read them.
