Loose Lips Weekly leads off this week with an item tracking down the reason that the District stopped posting documents and video from the Mayor’s CapStat agency performance oversight meetings, as it had previously done.  The conclusion: Attorney General Peter Nickles describes the materials related to CapStat sessions as the essence of "deliberative process," a privilege exempting internal agency working materials under the District’s open records law.  Loose Lips then surveys some other transparency problems that have cropped up during this administration.  Washington City Paper
