Tricky Transparency

I remember my alma mater TCU (actually more credit to the coach Jim Wacker) in 1984 voluntarily reporting college football recruiting violations - and yet getting the full brunt of the NCAA's penalties. Why come clean - was the question then.

It still is today, as Congress debates immunity to the telcos for their role in the NSA's secret eavesdropping program. How would you like to be the chief blogger for Verizon or AT&T?

And what about about risks of on-line confession sites?

And in a move about to really push personal transparency to a new limit is Fox's new reality show The Moment of Truth with lie detectors and incentives of up to half a million to "tell the truth"

Makes Naked Conversations seem tame.
