How can hiding things make you more transparent?

The Obama White House has very strict controls on the media and they say this is to be more transparent. Would it not be more transparent if they let the media have access and still release the same materials they do now?

    0bama's promise of complete transparency was just another lie to cover up his incompetence. Funny thing is, the liberals are still buying it even in the wake of "if you like your health plan, you can keep it....period".

    Well, in Harry Potter, the clock of invisibility is something that makes you 100% transparent. And, yet, it's purpose is the hide.

    Now, before you got telling me that Harry Potter is fiction, keep in mind that people use the Bible to justify things. I choose to use Harry Potter. My right.
