WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's administration on Wednesday made it more difficult for the government to suppress information on security grounds, amid allegations the power was used to cover up Bush-era excess.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced that from today he would personally review claims to state secrecy privilege, and vowed tougher standards would be put in place.

5. Bullshit! Never happened

The Trotskyites, PUMAs complainophiles, haters, dead-enders, etc. told me that Obama is exactly the same as Bush, and this would NEVER happen. Since this would make Obama not the same as Bush, it can't be true!!!!

7. No Obama promises to have his AG look at overturning Bush state secrets policy on case by case basis
