Two Senators Call For ACTA Transparency

angry tapir writes "Two US senators have asked President Barack Obama's administration to allow the public to review and comment on a controversial international copyright treaty being negotiated largely in secret. The public has a right to know what's being negotiated in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), Senators Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, and Bernard Sanders, a Vermont Independent, argue in the letter."

There's a wide gulf of difference between "transparency" and "nothing to see here, move along."

Myopic zombies?

Sure, some people seemed rather busy equating Obama with the second coming and all. Plenty of people however realised that he would be much like many other presidents and do all the evil things one generally expects of a politician.

But myopic zombies? He's still a better alternative than the republicans.

Gonna be modded down but ...

America had a choice,,, Ron Paul. The sad part is that the 2012 election will once again reign in "change" in the form of a Republican "conservative". Both parties are bought and paid for with the exception of a few individuals. Wake up people!
