After taxpayers bailed out the financial sector amid much public outcry last year,political and open-government observers are wondering how the Securities and Exchange Commission will now be allowed to skirt certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests under a new federal law.
Tucked inside a bill revamping the financial industry,signed by President Obama on July 21,is a provision that allows an exemption for the SEC to ignore certain FOIA requests. The FOIA dodge came to light when journalists from Fox Business Network discovered the SEC’s new public records loophole,an action the network’s attorney dubbed “a backroom deal that was cut between Congress and the SEC to keep the SEC’s failures secret.”

It appeare that our president has revealed government secrets to the public ,etc.,re:what we posess in nucular arms. I am not well versed in law,but it sounds to me,not to be very patriotic!
If this government is trying to be open about our intensions,it seems to me,that it could selectt a different course!
Are we fools?
