试论述行政公开的民主价值。

答案

参考答案:美国总统约翰逊在1966年7月4日签署情报自由法时宣称:“在国家安全许可的范围内,人民能够得到全部信息时,民主政治才能最好的运行。”司法部长克拉克在情报自由法实施前夕发表的说明书中写道:“如果一个政府真正是民有、民治、民享的政府的话,人民必须能够详细地知道政府的活动。没有任何东西比秘密更能损害民主。公众没有了解情况,所谓自治,所谓公民最大限度地参与国家事务只是一句空话。”(王名扬:《美国行政法》(下册),中国法制出版社1995年版,第959页。)美国总统和司法部长的谈话,清楚地指明了行政公开和民主政治的关系。

     Eddie McKay, a onceforgotten pilot is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in

Canada.

     It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, fofund McKay's

name in a footnote in a book about university history.McKay was included in a list of university alumni

(校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist

in military history.Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives(档案馆)in a fruitless search

for information on McKay.Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up.On his way out, Broad's glance

happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers.His eye was drawn to an old

picture of a young man in a rugby uniform.As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a

thrilling realization."After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,

"said Broad.Excited by the find'Broad asked his students to continue his search.They combed old

newspapers and other materials for clues.Gradually, a picture came into view.

     Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916.He downed ten enemy

planes, outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in

England, and then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in

December 1917.But there's more to his story."For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most

famous pilot in the world, "says Broad."He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most

famous German pilot at the time."Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that

Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.

     McKay's war records were destroyed during a World War ? air bombing on London-an explanation

for why he was all but forgotten.

     But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay's memory was placed

on the university grounds in November 2007."I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word '

deceased' (阵亡) next to his name, "said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in

his uniform."This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country."
