View into the source code of an ethereum smart contract

the whole system of ethereum smart contract relies on trust. You can be 100% percent sure that a smart contract will get executed when the conditions are met.

But how can i assure that the smart contract itself isn't a fraud? Is it possible to look into the source code of each executed block? Every block is f.e. listed here https://www.etherchain.org/

Is it possible to look into the bytecode of each smart contract deployed on the ethereum blockchain?

Thank you for your help!

Clicking around for 5 seconds, and I'm finding stuff like this: etherchain.org/account/… – Svend
I was looking for source code in a block. You went to the "account" view, which is absolutely logical and the perfect answer for my question. Thank you very much! – Andreas Schmidt

I think it's the author's decision to make the smart contract code of open.
