PROMISES, PROMISES: A closed meeting on openness

WASHINGTON — It's hardly the image of transparency the Obama
administration wants to project: A workshop on government openness is
closed to the public.
The event Monday for federal employees is a
fitting symbol of President Barack Obama's uneven record so far on the
Freedom of Information Act, a big part of keeping his campaign promise
to make his administration the most transparent ever. As Obama's first
year in office ends, the government's actions when the public and press
seek information are not yet matching up with the president's words.
