White House challenges release of visitor logs
WASHINGTON (AP) - April 21, 2008 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
is considering whether Secret Service logs of White House visits
are public information. In arguments Monday, the court seemed
concerned that the Bush administration wanted to cloak the White
House in secrecy.
But the three-judge panel also scolded the group seeking the
records for not acknowledging the constitutional issues in the
case. The judges said the request raised significant questions
about the separation of powers.
