Sunlight is a great disinfectant, but it has drawbacks for the vampire community

October 26, 2009

Christopher Bergin is not happy with a recent IRS attempt to hide its inner workings :

Defending the order, an IRS spokesman said that it is consistent with the policy articulated in President Obama’s January memo and reflects “the IRS’s long-standing commitment to accountability through transparency.” Excuse me, I’m about to spit up again. From my perch – and it’s a pretty informed one – the IRS has had a long-standing commitment to avoiding public scrutiny as much as it can.

Apparently you have to destroy transparency to save it at IRS.
