The New Media Journal | How to Hide the Truth...Washington Style by Thomas D. Segel: "We have all seen that motion picture and televised legal dramas. One side is seeking important information and the other is attempting to keep that same information hidden. The court orders full disclosure...and what happens? The side wanting to keep a particular topic hidden provides the opponent with thousands and thousands of pages containing useless information. The important words are hidden deep inside everything that was placed on the table.
Isn’t this the same tactic being used by Congress today? A healthcare reform bill, renamed a healthcare insurance reform bill is offered to the public that is 1117 type written pages long. Since the average type written page contains about 250 words that means the bill before any new amendments are added is already more than 280,000 words long. Those searching for its true meaning must dig deep into the pages to locate where the essence of the bill lies hidden, before they can make rational decisions."
