Yes... So why doesn't it happen more often? <g> Are you suggesting that
we
don't have that at the moment? Besides, (for example) I suspect from the
"models" being used for the GZG nation-states that most if not all the
countries do *not* have the Freedom of Information that we have here in
the
US. Call in a matter of national interest or an official secret and it
*won't* get reported at all (in the NAC) or you just disappear (in the
ESU),
in the NSL and the FSE I wonder.

We have it *good* here in the old USA, sort of. <g>
