Judge orders release of more Cheney energy task force documents
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version  

Washington-AP -- A federal judge says the government must release more documents related to the task force that Vice President Dick Cheney privately convened to develop a national energy policy.

The order was handed down yesterday as part of an inquiry by government and environmental watchdog groups.

They're seeking information about whether energy executives and lobbyists helped draft a policy that was friendly to their industries during President Bush's first year in office.

The administration maintains only government employees were members of the task force. They've fought release of some documents saying they were part of internal discussions.

A lawyer for one group says the records to be released are "kind of the top of the food chain" and could be the most telling.
