This is not true. In the US there is amazing accountability and transparency and this is the foundation of democracy. The process though does take time. Go back and look at the Nixon era. Almost every day some politician is being indicted. Ken Lay of Enron is on trial. You know what happened at FEMA and how Brown screwed up because of access to information requests. You make an access request in the US and they comply.
Have you ever tried to make an access request in Canada? If you get 5% of your own file you are lucky. The Canadian Justice department does not investigate or prosecute white collar crime. It also does not indict politicians. And the conservatives in their accountability bill want to put in an exemption where no information is ever released if it involves a government investigation. This means that any wrong doing by the government will be permanently covered up. Does this give you confidence you are living in a democracy? And if you think you are living in a democracy you are seriously confused about what a democracy represents.
ken lay will get away with it, most of the evidence were in the world trade center.
What nixxon get for watergate? absotly nothing, except resignation.
How do you labelled the 9-11 comission? to me it is a clear cover up,
how do you call that the bush administration rejecting request from senators to released a classified list of saudi individuel and organisations suspected of financing terrorist group??
how do you call a president that personnally asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events of September 11?
how do you call a president that ask to appear in front of a 9-11 comission, with his buddy cheeney, and refusing to be under oath?
How do you call a president that refused any direct witnesse,firefighters to testified publicly??
how do you call that the world trade center investigators are refusing to show computer visualisation of the collapse of the twin tower, despite calls from leading structural and fire engeneer??
COVER UP.
