Secrecy in the Bush Administration

House Committee on Government Reform
; 
Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform examined the Bush Administration's approach to open government and revealed a consistent pattern of undermining laws designed to promote public access to information. The report claims the administration expanded laws allowing information withholding and secrecy, while restricting laws promoting transparency. The report states the administration's actions collectively constitute an unprecedented assault on open government principles.
