Crossroads GPS, the cash-rich Republican outside group planning to
spend $120 million on the 2012 election in conjunction with its sister
organization American Crossroads, announced Wednesday the launch of a
website called www.Wikicountability.org
"designed to crowd-source information gleaned from Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests and other public documents by
organizations, individuals and journalists."
The site is meant to "facilitate efficient sharing of public
information about the Obama Administration" and highlight FOIA requests
that have gone unfulfilled. It has been set up to look like Wikipedia.
Among the documents uploaded so far is one showing that three Medicare advertisements featuring Andy Griffith cost the government $404,000 to produce and a total of $2.78 million to air. (This had been previously reported.)
Others show meetings between two administration officials - Labor
Secretary Hilda Solis and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau head
Elizabeth Warren - and liberal journalists and union officials. (One of
those journalists, David Corn, denies the meeting, and Crossroads did not immediately point him to the document on the site suggesting it took place.)
President Obama vowed that his would be the most transparent ever, and
among the steps it has taken is disclosing the names of those who have
come to the White House for meetings. Yet even some administration
allies, like John Podesta, who led Mr. Obama's transition team, say the
administration has done a poor job in responding to information
requests. The Associated Press found earlier this month that
the administration refused to release information for more than one in
three requests, and responded to fewer requests last year despite an
increase in requests.
