Flutterby™! : White house against openness

Oh, look, the Whitehouse is trying to gut an open data and transparency bill:

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), one of the bill's sponsors,  expressed similar dismay over the mark-up. “The Obama administration talks a lot about transparency, but these comments reflect a clear attempt to gut the DATA Act.," he told FedScoop. "DATA reflects years of bipartisan, bicameral work, and to propose substantial, unproductive changes this late in the game is unacceptable.”

Although I must confess that anything that has the support of Darrell Issa is probably pure evil.
