The Obama admistrationin has committed to making government more transparent by making more information available online
It has reversed an executive order that encouraged too much secrecy, and ordered a top-to-bottom, 120-day review of how the use of new technologies can help the government engage with the public.
But at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, openness is slower to catch on
Critically, Congress has yet to end an outdated policy that prevents ordinary Americans from having easy access to the findings of the Congressional Research Service (CRS), otherwise known as "the brains" of our legislative body
