The national security claim is stunning, given that the treaty negotiations have included the 27 member states of the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Switzerland and New Zealand, all of whom presumably have access to the "classified" information."


This disturbs me because of my close ties to this subject, but it is definitely disturbing the young tech crowd led by people like Cory Doctorow. It's also <sarcasm>amazing</sarcasm> that the only transparency he has introduced is transparency of the policies of the previous administration.

You can't make up stuff like this. Biden is holding a meeting today on government transparency. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!

Remember this promise? Barack Obama "Public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk" - You can hear him say these words on this YouTube video.

Well, here is a report card. To be quite frank, after a very poor start, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
