More “change” i.e More secrecy…again

As I have pointed out here frequently, the king of Presidential secrecy, HRH Obama, has continuously

reduced transparency in government, flying in the face of his campaign promises.


 

He has done it once again. The justice department is currently telling the federal courts that when reporters

are prosecuted in cases regarding government leaks, it is NOT the courts to decide whether the reporter has to

reveal his/her sources, but rather the court should take the word of the government.


 

In other words, what they are arguing is when we want to arrest and jail a reporter, they have no right to

have their case heard in the courts, rather the judge has to take MY word for it.


 

Change you can believe in, again.
