public interest groups

The White House has reached agreement with two public interest groups who had sued to see certain e-mails written by Bush administration officials.

The Bush White House had said those e-mails were lost. But now the Obama administration says computer technicians have found 22 million missing e-mails, and will release them to the groups who will now drop their lawsuits.

It will be years before the e-mails become public.

While the Obama administration has been the most transparent of any so far, he has still broken some pretty specific promises, much to the consternation of those who voted for him.
