Transparency and accountability in politics and economics should always be our goal as a free society. The process of clarity and answerability is mandatory if we are to believe in and support the actions of those that represent us in Washington, DC and on Wall Street.

After sneaking into the bathroom for a couple of quick drags, a Qatari diplomat is questioned about the smell of smoke and then jokes about setting his shoes on fire. Apparently, Mohammed Al-Madadi, a 27 year old official at the [...]
