WH Claims INFO Office Is NOW Exempt From Releasing INFO-Scrubs "Handbook" From Site

White House says information office exempt
from Freedom of Information Act requests


White House office that handles freedom of information requests is free no longer

The White House Office of Administration "is responsible for responding to requested who are seeking records under the Freedom of Information Act."

This from the White House website.

Only there's a small problem.

According to the Washington Post, "The Bush administration argued in court papers this week that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act as part of its effort to fend off a civil lawsuit seeking the release of internal documents about a large number of e-mails missing from White House servers."

The office's website, however, continues to say otherwise. Under a section titled "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS," it says:



http://www.whitehouse.gov/oa/

The word "handbook," which appears to be a link on the site, is, alas, readable no longer.
