White House Not Above The law??

@boxerdc Said

We have the freedom of information act which is probably what these people are referring to. It's one of those silly American things that states that American citizens have the right to know everything about what their government is doing, and the government has an absolute responsibility to respond to requests for any information.

There are some notable exceptions, such as requests for information that would be a threat to national security, and puerile or vindictive requests for personal information.

Would the request to see photos of a dead Osama bin Laden fall under this heading? Because, personally, I think it would.
