Obama Mirrors Bush in Opposing Release of White House Emails
------------------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration has again sided with former President George W.
Bush on a case involving government secrecy. The White House has already
continued Bush stance’s on seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by former CIA
detainees and to prevent a federal court from reviewing the Bush
administration’s warrantless spying program. Now it’s refusing to
reverse the government position on opposing a suit seeking access to
millions of missing White House emails over Bush’s two terms in office.
The groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the
National Security Archive want the emails publicly released.
