Disclosure and Transparency

[James Cooper <james.cooper@socma.com>]

The discussion on disclosure has been interesting.  I appears that in and of itself, disclosure may not satisfy folks on either end of the spectrum: reformers and free-marketeers.  In the context of transparency in the campaign process, however, shouldn't disclosure be expected?  Although I eluded to organizations using clever names to hide their intent, it is still possible to track those organizations.  And I think there are watchdog groups out there that would do just that.  So, maybe disclosure is a pretty good idea, even if it won't necessarily solve all of the problems.
