Open gov threatened by WikiLeaks

OpenTheGovernment.org has sent a letter to OMB calling for the continued protection of open government, even after WikiLeaks.

The open government community is very concerned the WikiLeaks leaks are undermining transparency.

OpenTheGovernment.org wrote a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Jacob Lew asking for the agency to take special care to protect open government.

Patrice McDermott, director of OpenTheGovernment.org, joins the DorobekINSIDER to explain how WikiLeaks could impact open government.
