Leak Shows US Lead Opponent of ACTA Transparency

An anonymous reader writes "Throughout the debate over ACTA transparency, the secret copyright treaty, many countries have taken public positions that they support release of the actual text, but that other countries do not. Since full transparency requires consensus of all the ACTA partners, the text simply can't be released until everyone is in agreement. A new leak from the Netherlands fingers who the chief opponents of transparency are: the United States, South Korea, Singapore, and Denmark lead the way, with Belgium, Germany, and Portugal not far behind as problem countries."

The people who elected the Democrats thought they'd do a better job of making a health care bill. The Republicans have their own agenda, of course, but it makes it no less true that the Democrats failed the people who elected them in the writing of the legislation. It's a turd of a bill.

Republican agenda is to get Obama out of office even if it means wasting the 4 years he is in power. See this about health care: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-february-11-2010/the-apparent-trap

You're off topic. The article is about ACTA. You're talking about health care reform.
