CNN's Campbell Brown talks about Obama's 'transparency' in Government

The following are the comments from CNNs Cambpell Brown as she gives some 'at-a-boys' to the White House for transparency, by releasing confidential justice department memos. Her commentaries are straight forward, and honest criticisms as she sees it regarding political or government actions. She takes no hesitation to criticize anyone in government. One of my interests with the Obama government is the idea that this President outwardly admits that what Washington does these days will be 'transparent', and therefore, I am especially interested in comments such as the ones below by Campbell Brown. Every bit of information concerning 'transparency' will be re-published on this website for all to read, as this is also one of the main reasons for publishing this blog.

"We are cutting through the bull, as we continue to call for more transparency in government. Cheers to the White house for starting to cut through the veil of secrecy, left by its last occupant, former President Bush. The Obama administration has made good on at least partially on its promise  to release confidential justice department memos, spelling out how much leeway the Oval office might have in prosecuting the war on terror. These are memos dealing with the use of torture on terror suspects, memos dealing with the partial suspension of constitutional protection in this country, in the name of routing out those who wish to kill us. Now we can and we should continue to debate on what rights our government should or shouldn't have in dealing with terror suspects. But we should all be part of that debate. We have a right to know how far it could go, and why it was necessary. Keeping the American people in the dark shows a tremendous lack of respect for a country that values honest government. Less than a week before leaving office in January, the Bush justice department wrote, that "those memos have long since superceeded or withdrawn." But we are only finding that out now. We hope that the new administartion won't stop its current efforts to shed some light in dark places, and will remember the mistakes of the past, in keeping its own promise of transparancy."
