This administration is about as transparent as the oil that's leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. Last month, a panel of seven experts were asked for their opinions on how to safely deal with offshore drilling. It was commissioned by the White House and the Department of Interior in wake of BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The outcome? Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and the Obama White House secretly added to the final draft, after it had been reviewed and approved by the expert panel, that the experts agreed with and justified a six-month moratorium on offshore drilling.
