It's the right thing to do.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-74280814854165883762008-07-19T21:32:00.000-04:002008-07-19T21:32:00.000-04:00I have experienced the same thing you have.

And they shouldn't be, unless there are matters of national security involved.<BR/><BR/>I think the Parliamentary website should make the video available right away. There is simultaneous translation, so translation is not the issue.<BR/><BR/>Our Parliament should be a lot more transparent than it is. The people should have access to parliamentary deliberations.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038275826830875246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-45770589730500568652008-07-19T18:45:00.000-04:002008-07-19T18:45:00.000-04:00I completely agree.

I've written to them and the answer I get back is that they have to translate and verify....read edit.<BR/><BR/>That said, the MSM do have access pretty quickly, but you are right, they too edit the facts for both practical and partisan reasons.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what risk the MSM would face if <I>we the people</I> had the same info at the same time, but that's the dialogue of our time isn't it?<BR/><BR/>I watched the hearings, but I didn't record them and there is much more I want to comment on.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on this push and I'm not sure what is the best way to go about changing it, but I support putting our heads together to come up with a plan to do it.<BR/><BR/>It's time for parliament to catch up with the times.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.com
