Opening the place up for inspection by these groups should be an easy call but Obama the president is not the same as Obama the candidate. I'm betting he won't allow these groups in because that would expose too much and open Obama up to criticism from Republicans and the subservient press.

Government secrecy will still rule in this administration except for some minor cosmetic adjustments around the margins. It may be Bush's mess but Obama has to clean it up.
