How Dirty Boys Get Clean

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has an interesting new post up on its blog this morning. It seems that in response to CREW's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the Office of Administration for 5 million missing White House emails, the White House has decided it would rather keep its communications private from its employers and stakeholders (us) and has simply changed the rules on the fly. The dirty boys at the Department of Justice had claimed the office was exempt, but the White House's own Web site said it wasn't. Unfortunately, the Washington Post reported the discrepancy, creating a bit of a mess. What to do? Scrub the White House Web site to axe the listing of the Office of Administration, of course. Problem solved!
