The headline is false; the "White House" was not involved in this - it was a mid-level agency guy. Stories like this can be multiplied endlessy - for any administration or any bureaucracy - but the press only seeks them out as "gotcha's" against Republicans. Anyone who has worked in a bureacracy - as I do - knows that the administration always wants to control the flow of information to outside interests such as the press or even other departments within the organization. If this is sinister, then virtually all bureaucracies are sinister.

They wanted to restrict it for a specific sinister reason-- that GOP lawmakers would oppose the drug bill for granny if they knew how much it would really cost. This is pathetic. I don't pay taxes so that HHS can withhold important information from my representatives in DC.
