Freedom of Infromation Act

Since President Barack Obama decided that the pictures of Osama Bin Laden were “too gruesome to make public, lest they inflame violence or be used as anti-U.S. propaganda,” it will be up to journalists to force the U.S. Government under the Freedom of Information Act, an Act which many of us Media Studies majors are familiar with. The Associated Press has already taken it upon themselves to file a Freedom of Information Act for a pile of Bin Laden dead body-related media being held by the government, which, if granted by the courts, could require the info to be made public.

It won't work against the White House is exempt from FOIA, so the law wouldn’t apply if the images are controlled there. The CIA, which had operational control of the mission, and Defense Department can use a series of exemptions from the act to block the release of the images.

The government has 20 days to responds to FOIA request to the release of the images.

May Day!!!!

Today I should be writing about the Royal Wedding or the high gas prices, but this is a huge day for me as a former Armed Services member. We have killed the largest enemy against the United States. He has been hiding in Pakistan a mansion which we will all have question about in the upcoming days. Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan.
President Barack Obama confirmed the death of the Al Qaida terrorist leader in a nationally-televised address Sunday night.
Obama said the killing of Obama was the top priority of the U.S. intelligence community.
“Last week, I determind that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama Bin Laden,” the president said. “A small team of Americans carried out the operation…no Americans were harmed…after a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body.”
So all I have to say is:
