Governments become corrupted because when people gain a little authority, they and are tempted to abuse it. If government was completely open, then the power would be handed back to the people, who, with their little authority, would probably abuse it just as much as the government. For example, potentially embarrassing information about politicians could be easily falsified and published everywhere on the Web, and lackadaisical people would most likely think it came from an "open government" source and believe it.
