I read another interesting one this week about 'transparency' in the Obama administration:

Information Sharing as a Form of Secrecy
August 17th, 2009 by Steven Aftergood

The Obama Administration is giving increased attention to the continuing post-9/11 challenge of information sharing, with a newly appointed White House Senior Director of Information Sharing Policy tasked to lead the effort. But this new activity does not imply any reduction in the volume of security and safety-related information that is withheld from the public...

Although information sharing might seem like the antithesis of secrecy, the term has come to be used to refer exclusively to sharing within the government, including state and local officials and certain selected private partners.

It seems the intergovernmental departments are more transparent with each other, yet not with the public. They're still hiding in classification (secrecy) policy.

It's not exactly bold
