Transparency and Secrecy in Government »Transparency and Secrecy in GovernmentTransparency and Secrecy in Government☜Several governments have launched ambitious Internet projects (data.gov, data.gov.uk) to expose their data. At the same time, organizations such as Wikileaks also use Internet to fight the excessive secrecy with which governments tend to protect their sensitive data. How do these two trends combine?☜FFB597

Citerank: (5) 85956Determining the boundary/threshold?8FFB597, 86713WikiLeaks documents may point to potential war crimes by US forcesDocuments released by WIkiLeaks might form the basis for prosecuting war crimes committed by US forces against Afghan civilians.959C6EF, 86724WikiLeaks documents put individuals at risk by revealing identitiesAlthough Wikileaks says it has withheld 15,000 documents on the Afghan war in order to remove names and other means of identifying individuals who might be placed at risk, the Times of London revealed that in some cases sufficient identifying details were in the documents already released.1198CE71, 86727Full openness would make it easier for terrorists to commit atrocitiesIn a world in which terrorists have committed atrocities and threaten to commit more, to seek complete government transparency is utopian. Sometimes it is possible to do good only in secret.1198CE71, 86728In general a more transparent government is likely to be a better one 109FDEF6
