Obama increases government transparency

Day One and the government is opening up its windows to the people. This from the Wall Street Journal

In an attempt to deliver on pledges of a transparent government, Mr.
Obama said he would change the way the federal government interprets
the Freedom of Information Act. He said he was directing agencies that
vet requests for information to err on the side of making information
public -- not to look for reasons to legally withhold it -- an
alteration to the traditional standard of evaluation.

I feel like I imagined that Eastern Europeans felt when their autocrats fell. Feels pretty good!
