When you say honest it becomes a comparison to truth doesnt it? Do you mean there are times the government can't divulge classified information? I agree with you military movements should always remain classified even in peace time operations. I can't think of anything else that should. I think the secrecy goes way back, but (sorry . . .little paranoia statement here) JFK is the first step in it getting much worse. A statement "we cant comment on that for security reasons" seems acceptable compared to a straightforward lie. I think our elected reps have forgotten what and who they are serving. In the end, who do we have to blame?
