October 31, 2009
WH is claiming a “new era of transparency”. Transparency in and of itself would be new. They also claim it is “voluntary”.
Voluntary the way one takes a plea bargain to avoid the death penalty.
They were being sued by CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) and were going to have to release the records so they did it “voluntarily” and CREW dropped their lawsuits.
The Administration also thanks CREW for their participation in the development of the new voluntary disclosure policy.
Only names from after September 15 will be released – sometime in December.
January 20 to September 15 – requests will be considered if narrow enough and fit in the parameters.
The Vice President’s residence is the out – they’re only giving up the names of guests at special events there.
And what about Air Force One?
They just released name from 110 requests folks had for specific names from January 20 – July 31, 2009. More than a few interesting names came up and the WH had this to say:
A lot of people visit the White House, up to 100,000 each month, with many of those folks coming to tour the buildings. Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else. In September, requests were submitted for the names of some famous or controversial figures (for example Michael Jordan, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, Robert Kelly (“R. Kelly”), and Malik Shabazz). The well-known individuals with those names never actually came to the White House. Nevertheless, we were asked for those names and so we have included records for those individuals who were here and share the same names.
Your choice to believe them.
How many William Ayers, Jeremiah Wrights and Malik Shabazzs are there?
Why “actually”? And what does “well-known individuals” mean?
Nothing. Unless they say specifically: It was not Malik Shabazz, the head of the New Black Panther Party, who said barry was well-acquainted with Louis Farrakhan. It wasn’t the same Jeremiah Wright, who said Hillary ain’t been called no ni**er. It wasn’t the Bill Ayers, who wrote barry’s automythology.
