Do as we say....

Point: During a photo-op at the White House with Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy of Hungary on Tuesday, Shrub said

Hungary is a place that is a stable country, based upon rule of law and transparency.

Counterpoint: As a result of a Supreme Court ruling on Thursday,

[t]he Bush administration won't have to reveal secret details of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force before the election....

In a 7-2 decision, justices said the lower court should consider whether a federal open government law could be used to get task force documents. Even if that court rules against the administration, appeals would tie up the case well past November.

The White House has fought to keep the members of the task force a secret to keep from having to officially reveal that the panel, created to develop proposals for US energy policy, consisted largely of energy corporation officials.

Footnote: The assertion about the members of the task force, by the way, is not speculation; enough names have been leaked to substantiate it. So the actual purpose here is not to keep these names secret but to enable them to keep the members of any and all similar "task forces" likewise out of sight of the public (plus to avoid the greater political impact that seeing the names all at once rather than dribbled out one at a time could have).
