"The right to know is a cornerstone of our democracy. Without it, citizens are kept in the dark about key policy decisions that directly affect their lives. Without open government, citizens cannot make informed choices at the ballot box.

This reminds me of what former WSJ reporter, Ron Suskind, wrote in a NY Times Magazine piece titled 'Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush' dated October 17, 2004. Here he reports on an exchange he had with a White House aide:
"The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
Isn't it obvious that the AP pimps for the Neocon agenda by validating and confirming the ignoble lies they create.
The AP is part of The Israel Lobby.
hopefully 'history's actors' will be able to study what they did wrong from a jail cell
