I would venture that 'transparency in government' would have to be a relative condition. And that NO GOVERNMENT, anywhere, is ever either '100% transparent' in all their actions and deliberations, nor is any government ever '0% transparent' (i.e., completely impervious to all those outside of government). Like most all political promises, it was realistically more of a pledge to be 'more open' then the norm that we had become used to... sorta of a pledge to tack in the opposite direction from the course set by the Bush team.... A relative course change, (not an introduction of something never before seen in the entire history of governance. :-)
