Wired has an article about citizen monitoring of government, with one of the best laundry-lists I've seen of such resources to date. Though it fails to include official government sites such as the Government Printing Office, which has huge amounts of data about all branches of the federal government, the OpenNet database of declassified DOE documents, or the "Electronic Reading Rooms" of the CIA, FBI, and State Department (though these latter sites are mostly just good for historical curiosity). Let's not forget that most things the government does, it does right out in the open, because they seemed like good ideas at the time.
