Are we safer in the dark?


Concerned about government secrecy, domestic spying and the like? Take a look at this video, produced by openthegovernment.org as part of national "Sunshine Week," held in March.

The goal of Sunshine Week is to "raise awareness of the importance of open government to the public."

Sunshine Week is co-sponsored by the following organizations:
