biting kneecaps

Remember how Obama promised a more transparent government, where the people would actually be able to see government documents?

 Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public.

    (from Transparency and Open Government)

One would think that the "new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online" would include the bid for doing that.

But it doesn't.  The bid itself is almost completely censored.
