what "actions" would you have preferred to see happen over the past 8 years and who should have carried them out?
i don't see your argument as having a way to even start to address the problems created by the bush administration, particularly in its first term. what it seems your argument would lead to is basically "o well..."
secondly, it seems that you're working with a circular logic on this question: because "something" hasn't happened, and because the "information"---undefined, since it seems that we are not going to agree about the type of quality of information required if the notion of "transparency" is to be taken at all seriously (and with the limitations that you have to keep in mind as well, given that no institution---not even that of the individual subject---is transparent to itself)----because "information" is available, somehow, and nothing has happened, then it does not matter that the information exists.
then you go a step further and imply that this information is also a burden, somehow.
so you prefer secretive authoritarian actions undertaken without requirements of deliberation because they generate less information which leaves you to go about your daily life with fewer things to be concerned about not keeping track of?
is that accurate as a synposis?
