Given I received exactly zero votes in my file-an-FOI-request contest, I'm going to send all four entries to Barack Obama when he is inaugurated on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in the closing hours of the transition, articles and commentary continue to roll about how nontransparent the Bush Administration was and how the Obama administration can be beacons of light.

The latest, longest example is from the Columbia Journalism Review. A link to the article is here, but beware. It's long even for someone who really cares about this stuff.
