Obama pledges "era of openness"

From BBC NEWS...
US President Barack Obama has issued executive orders on government ethics and transparency as part of a packed first full day in office.

The measures include curbs on lobbying and a pay freeze for senior White House staff. Federal employees will have to sign up to new ethics procedures.

The new president said he was beginning "a new era of openness" in government.
I'm all for transparency, especially if it's letting taxpayers know where the money's going. Just do the military a favor and keep our strategy on the down low.
