Welcome to the new Justice.gov. If you’re a regular visitor to our site, you’ll notice some changes today. If you are joining us for the first time, welcome.

The Department of Justice launches Justice.gov today in an effort to increase openness and transparency in government. Utilizing a variety of online tools, we will be able to share news and information, not just on our own web site, but through popular social networks Twitter, YouTube and MySpace and Facebook. The Justice presence on these social networks will allow Americans to interact with the Department in entirely new ways.

The new Justice.gov has incorporated more multimedia than ever before. You’ll find a photo gallery and video library that will be regularly updated with new content from across the Department of Justice. And of course, The Justice Blog will be a hub of information for the Department.

We are all excited by these new opportunities. Today’s launch is just the first step towards creating the most open, accessible and transparent Justice Department possible. We welcome your feedback about the new site and your ideas for the future.

Not Blogging...again.

There’s that darn “T” word again. Transparency.

[Jim Robinson]

But according to an official DOJ statement, there is no DOJ blog squad. DOJ employees do not post on twitter, facebook, forums, etc.

Someone’s lying.

Why would “Americans” need to “interact” with the DOJ in “entirely new ways”? Hmmmm.

[Congressman Billybob]

Is this a sick joke from the Onion? Or, is this for real?

They ought to investigate O’s cabinet and czars if they are really series..

What a regime. sigh

Our tax dollars at work: Whenever you walk down a hallway, don't you often see impromptu discussions like that? There are at least 40 or 50 people there.

Actual byline to photo:
