Government Transparency Causes ‘Blindness’
August 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments
If my experience with one U.S. Department of Justice agency is indicative of how the federal government operates in this new era of transparency, then I must conclude that transparency causes “blindness.” Several times during the past 18 months, I’ve contacted people at the National Institute of Justice — the research, development and evaluation arm [...]
