From the current "Discover" magazine (October 2003), pages 24-25. There is no on-line version of this edition yet.
quote:
...a Web site that inverts the idea of Total Information Awareness. It's called Government Information Awareness (http://www.opengov.us). The premise is a simple but powerful one; If out elected officials use the latest information technologies to follow out every move and detect unusual patterns in our behaviour, perhaps we should subject them to the same intense scrutiny.
Haven't actually checked it out yet. Perhaps I should have put this in the "Links" forum.
Cheers,
Moose
