Senator Secrecy. He put a "secret hold" on the Open Government Act of 2007 or OPEN. It's just too ironical.

Members of the Society of Professional Journalists, the nation’s largest journalism-advocacy organization, used the power of the blogosphere to find out whose legislative bludgeon was buried in the back of open government. We called every senator, one by one, until at last — when it became clear he could hide no longer — Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), came blinking and grimacing into the sunlight and admitted that it was he who placed a secret hold ... on a bill that addresses secrecy in government.

"Secret holds." I never heard of them and now I'm wondering if there are more secret tricks. Secret tricks, dirty tricks, someone should write a book. Here's more on OPEN and may God bless the Society of Professional Journalists.  ¶ 8:24 AM
