Found a long, highly informative article in US News & World Report today about the level of secrecy in the Bush administration. Yet more reasons to be disgusted by what this administration has done to our country. It's quite long but worth a read.
As far as personal veils of secrecy go, I haven't heard back from Allstate yet about my car, so I'm still in limbo. I just hope it's all done with soon so I can get out of that dirty, smelly loaner car.
