The Web and Political Transparency

I'm thrilled to see this new website at www.earmarkwatch.org that lets Americans track political pork legislation. And when added to www.maplight.org they can't hide it has well as they used to. This is something that has been historically difficult to track. They certainly don't have anything like this in China - when they do, it will be even more interesting than what goes on in DC. I can't even see that far into the future though.
