Early Barriers to Oversight

The Pentagon is refusing to take action on the newly released FBI documents detailing detainee abuse at Guantanamo. And it looks like Pat Leahy (D-VT) and Gonzales will go at.

Meanwhile the White House visitor records are now secret. They are now Presidential records instead of Secret Service records, so they are not subject to FOIA requests. "The memo last spring was signed by the White House and Secret Service the day after a Washington-based group asked a federal judge to impose sanctions on the Secret Service in a dispute over White House visitor logs for Abramoff."
