A month ago, the SEC put up a site to identify companies doing business with the likes of Iran, Syria and the Sudan. Linking only to annual reports by the companies, the site allowed investors to read the companies' own explanations, plans, and history. The purpose of the web site was to give investors an opportunity to decide whether they wanted to invest in such companies. Yesterday, at 5:00 pm, they took the site down. The reasons -- incompetence on the Government's side and pressure by the companies. So much for the US government at work for you.
