Activists Crawl Through Web to Untangle U.S. Secrecy

NEW YORK, Nov 29 (IPS) - To combat the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy, U.S. citizens have been forced to unearth new sources for information they once read in their daily newspapers. But thanks to a few dedicated individuals and not-for-profit groups -- and the Internet -- such material is easier to come by than ever before.

"The Bush administration has taken secrecy to a new level. They have greatly increased the numbers and types of classified documents," says Steven Aftergood, who conducts one of the most widely used "open government" programmes -- the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Project on Government Secrecy.

This is great! While a lot of us have been whining about the Bush agenda, many organizations have been doing something about it!

There are some good links in this article.
