President Obama famously promised to run the most transparent administration in history. This week, security experts are evaluating how well the White House has lived up to that pledge. It's Sunshine Week, a time of year when lawmakers and good-government groups grade the administration's commitment to openness. A new Knight Open Government Survey by the National Security Archive found about half of 90 government agencies have changed their approach to sharing information since Obama promoted the idea on his first day in office. That means half still haven't gotten with the program.
