Re: Is the Obama administration the "most transparent administration in history"?
Isn't it a rather large assumption to say the Bush administration intentionally mislead the public, as opposed to a bunch of extremely hawkish individuals misinterpreting intelligence?
Also, I'm sure we can put a rather exhaustive list together concerning the lack of transparency from this administration, as we can with any recent example, so your demand seems rather fan-boyish and absurd. But to cite one particularly glaring example, you can look to their ongoing drone program, operations involving the targeting of US citizens within it, and their metrics for determining who those are.
What exactly is it that you feel this administration has been concealing? And how could any of it rank alongside intentionally misleading the country into a war?
