(Here's some of that transparency the Obama haters claim to want. Now that they're getting some, I wonder how many ways will they find to criticize it.)
WH releases all visitor logs for first time ever
In an executive order issued Tuesday, President Barack Obama ended a Bush-era policy that allowed the head of the US's intelligence agencies to have the final word on the declassification of documents.
The order also establishes a National Declassification Center whose job it will be to streamline the process of declassifying documents -- an important change to the US's process of freeing up information, given that there is a backlog of more than 400 million documents stretching back all the way to World War II, according to the White House.
The order establishes for the first time that "no records may remain classified indefinitely," explained William H. Leary, the National Security Council's director of records and access management, in a posting at the White House blog.
"President Obama’s new Order strikes a careful balance between protecting essential secrets and ensuring the release of once sensitive information to the public as quickly and as fully as possible," Leary wrote.

These are the same ones (except for BT) who were moaning and whining about lack of transparency. Now he gives them some, and they're still moaning and whining. Just shows they share the same agenda as the Republicans that want Obama to have a "Waterloo."
