cyn---right. but we arent inside the military. the information is leaked to us, to those of us who are outside. it's a priori a violation of the military system of classifying information. the argument i am making isn't about that. it's about whether there should be such a thick veil of secrecy relative to us, if the idea that the consent of "the people" means anything.
since vietnam, the approach of conservative regimes has been to choke off information and replace it with war marketing via press pools, etc. there's no denying this.
i think this is a problem.
dont you?
