facebookSo why have the pages outlining President-elect Barack Obama's agenda been deleted from the president-elect's Web site?
"We're retooling the Web site," said spokesman Nick Shapiro. "Basically, it was put up within hours after we won. We took everything down to rework it."
So we'll be watching for the newly retooled version. In the meantime, in the spirit of transparency, the transition team might want to say on the site what happened to the disappearing pages. There's no evidence on the site that the information was ever there.
