"Sunshine" laws and the like might have been violated in this case, but they

Transcripts of gov't proccedings are always suspect. The daddy of them
all, the Congressional Record, is highly editted after the fact as a
matter of routine. We worked with a project a while back that proposed
capturing all the video of the procedings and the concurrent closed
captioning for a real record of the congressional procedings, but it
fell through (we did demo a prototype of the system).
